I bought a pair of chainsaw chaps a couple of weeks ago after nearly removing my knee cap with the saw. Loose fitting pants got caught by the tooth bar on the saw. Then the chain caught my coveralls and then pants. Just had a small scrape on the skin right above the knee cap fortunately. 40 years running a chainsaw and only 4 near misses I still am very cautious. Anyhow the chaps had this safety flyer attached. I was surprised that the recorded injuries in 2004 was 32,436 incidents. Who is to say how many were unreported? What I was surprised by was how many hits were the the left side of the body. I am left handed so tend to cut that way. Keep in mind us left handers are a minority.
