There was a bit of discussion a while back re' shorts versus long pants
Obviously jeans won't stop a hard-spinning chain, but they will stop (or at least ameliorate) glancing injuries such as this
And these minor injuries are far and away the most common when it comes to chainsaws
I scored an almost identical set of wounds to this some years back, and would never again use a chainsaw without long pants
Preferably chaps or protective pants - but not bare legs
And yes, it does get quite hot here ...
