    I grew up with plenty of people chopping wood not using any type of safety equipment. Your video has completely sold me on the idea that this may be a good product to invest in because I would be the on who would chop a limb off.

    I am getting some of these after a nasty leg injury just two weeks ago - first in 10 years. Chainsaw injuries are much worse than you'd expect. Always be prepared and wear protective gears.

      Until it throws the blade back flipped around and right into your leg like just happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Luckily just missed the femoral artery but cut an over 1 inch wide gap almost down to the bone (much worse than what you'd think it would do). I am expected to be able to start walking in one month. First accident in 10 years. I am getting protective gears as Christmas present. ... or my friend many years ago, chainsaw kicked back, the blade flew up and hit him just above the eye, then bounced back and hit him again right below his eye. His optic nerves were visible in the cut and ended up with over 120 stitches which he had to endure without anesthetic because due to the massive bleeding all anesthetic bled right out; fortunately he didn't lose his eye sight. This is no joke, chainsaw injuries are MUCH worse than you think. Always be prepared - not like we were before. Thank you for the review video!

    Great video! Thank you! I have added it to my list of things I show newby’s and others who want/need to up their safety game. One suggestion…helmet. Kickback happens and the bar can hit you in the head. This is an extra concern for me when cutting in a log pile like in the video…it is so easy to hit another log with the top end of of the saw. I also agree with the other user that it is much safer to tuck your long hair. A friend of mine recently had his very long beard get caught in a grinder…horrible accident…I can imagine long hair getting caught in a chainsaw. ;) In any case, I truly respect and appreciate your effort to put out safety videos. Young people respond better to a young person(vs. me!), so your video helps effectively ❤reach those audiences! I will be watching and recommending your other content and subscribing. You rock!

    Neat to see, but I'd really like to see the action shot in one take go and without cutting to slow-mo. It's not really helpful to see the safety action slowed down so much - if that were real time, you could still do a LOT of damage to your leg in the time it appears to take in this video, so seeing it like that doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.
    Think of all the Saw Stop videos: They all show the action in real time and it really drives home how fast and effective the safety mechanism is!

      @@AllySafety I've known them as chaps since the 50s. Western TV shows always called them chaps.
      Wow, Yuppies is an obsolete term. Why would a Young Urban Professional need to have chaps of any kind?
      You lose credibility calling them shaps. Cambridge dictionary calls them chaps. Eastern uppity people/urban cowboys may call them shaps.
      The original Spanish pronunciation often softens the ch sound when the ch is followed by a short 'a' sound and blends the sh and ch sound into a sound that is not common to the English trained tongue. chaparral is an example.
      Go ahead and call them shainsaw shaps.... We'll just laugh.

    Now do it again but don’t just hover the bar over the chaps, go full throttle and drive it into the chaps just like would usually happen during a kickback. The chaps will still work (as long as they are good quality) but your testing will be more accurate instead of looking like you are trying to fudge the results.
