A simple reminder...PLEASE wear your saw chaps!!! A friend of mine has learned the hard way and got a Blessing he ONLY got 20 stitches today !!!
My understanding he'd felled a tree and was cutting a limb about breast hieght and when the saw went through as the limb was falling it kicked the saw down into his calf, he only thought it was a scratch until he examined it.
We had this talk about 5 weeks ago because I was using mine cutting simple firewood (tree already down)...I told him I wear them 95% of the time when I pick-up the chainsaw to use, that we never know when our next test and trial is going to be (incident in this case).
He's going to buy a set now to finish his logging!!! He asked me the cost of them tonight and all I could say was "...NOWHERE near the cost of the ER visit...not including time missed at work either...". he's praising the Lord 'cause he KNOWS He was with him or it would've been worse. Just missed the bone and an artery and he's walking on it tonight!!! Glory to God he didn't loose more!!!
Sorry. I have pic but photoshop ain't cooperating I'll attempt this large one. If not successful I'll update late Friday.
