If this video doesn't make people wear chaps, nothing will! Even when cutting up firewood, I still wear chaps/cutting helmet because you never know what's going to happen. I laugh at people who say otherwise
I spent many years falling timber and logging is BC Canada.. I don't think chaps are the way to go.. get the pants with the pads sewn in.. chaps are too easily spun around your leg leaving it exposed..some of the newer pants have the pad almost completely around the leg and offer much better protection than chaps.. chaps suck and none of the pros I know wear them. pants rule!!
whether you "cut like an idiot" or not, kickback and various other things could still cause you to get injured, and in a lot of cases your chain brake isn't gonna help.
lol this video almost made me want to wear chaps but then i remembered i dont cut like an idiot. jk i always have the chainbreak on when moving around until the chain is actually touching the wood does the chainbrake get released.
good suggestion, using the chainbreak. sooo many don't use it. that I believe, is when most people hit their leg, while moving around and the chain is still moving
exactly what you said! I just cut myself with a gas hedge trimmer. No major damage or stiches but if that had been a chainsaw I'd be in deep trouble. I'm going to go buy some nice chucks.
Great Video! One of the guys on our crew was fired because he refused to where his safety equipment. the last job he worked for he cut through his boot and has been off work now for the entire season. You would be a Damned fool if you listen to the people who say you are a pussy for using this..but if you walk in with this equipment they may hire you on the spot.
lol your a dick just wait till you cut yourself then youll be thinking well actually i should really start wearing em cos once its happened to you belive me you wont want it happening again!!!!
Just yesterday I cut myself just below the knee cap. I pulled the saw away from myself as soon as I realized what had happened, nevertheless, it did extensive damage to my leg. If I were wearing chaps my injury could have been entirely avoided. Anyone who is using a saw should seriously consider purchasing these.
Chainsaw chaps cost about $70.00 and are well worth it! When you take into consideration what a saw will to your leg not to mention you could bleed out in minutes if you hit a main artery! My 18 yearold son found out what wearing chaps did for him. He accidently cut into his upper leg very close to his Femoral Artery, and the saw was stopped in a second with no harm done to him. Now he has a lot more respect for chain saws. Any body that runs a chainsaw should wear a pair of chaps and other PPE.

were and how much r chainsaw chaps?
kxdirtrider85 2 years ago
@kxdirtrider85 any saw shop should have them, big r, major retailers like tractor supply, etc.
i paid about 70 bucks for mine, which is pricey, but how much is keeping a limb really worth?

think they forgot to mention that with those new safety pants you -MUST- change them if you cut through 2 layers of kevlar.
