Chainsaw Chaps

[rekees4300]

I'm going to buy chaps.

Bought the Stihl wrap-arounds today. Included with them was some interesting statistics:

Accident location and frequency related to chainsaw use.
Total for 2008 - 27170
head -1786
upper body - 816
arms & hands - 11107
legs - 11904
foot - 1557

I found the attached US Consumer Safety injury chart with similar numbers. I would have thought there would be more injuries on the right side of the body.

Wonder if those injuries to the right side are in large measure due to improper starting technique?
