My usual head attire is a ear muffs and safety glasses but I have a hardhat which has a face shield, one of those plastic shields with holes in it, like a mesh that you can see through. Wonder how much protection it gives from a kickback head strike?
Reason I ask is I have never experienced a kickback where the saw hits my head or comes near it but, wow, if that happened, that would be a bad day! The safety glasses would not give any protection. Makes me think I should just get in the habit of using a hardhat with face shield.
I recently read about a kickback injury to the head, ugh. The guy was not a rookie, it was just an unexpected surprise.
