Jfitz, thanks for sharing your boo-boo. It makes us think and be more careful.
Glad it was just a nick.
What kind of saw were you running ?
Did your 4-ply chaps jam up the saw as intended ? Do you think the chaps at least reduced the extent of the injury ?
Just asking because sometimes dirty, oily chaps don't work properly.
By the way, I'm still partially disabled from the chapless injury that I posted here last fall. I don't know if I will ever regain full use of my knee. I can walk OK, but have difficulty squatting, or climbing stairs, ladders, and hills. Flesh heals, but muscle and joints may not.
I made several mistakes -- no chaps, saw too heavy for limbing, and not taking a rest when I was tuckered out.
That reminds me, I need to order some kevlar boots or kevlar booties. Yep, safety gear is hot and uncomfortable in the summer. Beats being disabled for the rest of your life, though.
