[QUOTE="Canyon Angler, post: 6554032, member: 11188"] Since it sounds like kickback isn't the primary thing to watch out for, I'm curious how most loggers and fallers (especially new guys) get hurt in the woods. What would be the main things I should watch out for as a new guy? Falling branches/dead tops? Trees falling the wrong way? Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse with this thread...I googled "logging accident statistics" and found this: [IMG]https://s17.postimg.cc/ct1o2r9kv/screenshot_685.jpg[/IMG] and it looks like being "struck by" something is the biggest risk...so the hardhat and "eyes in the sky" would seem to be some of the most important things for a logger / faller, would you guys agree?
