Yeah, I think I read something like a third of all saw injuries are to the legs, another third are to the hands. I wear labonville's extreme chaps and some kevlar-backed saw gloves I saw on the forum. Coupled w/ eye/face protection, I figure I reduced my chances of getting injured by about 75%. Its a no-brainer.
And take frequent breaks, get plenty of water and quit for the day when you get tired.
Saws are tons of fun, but are also super dangerous and can quickly/easily create some ghastly wounds.
