I was helping out a customer and cutting up his lighting struck locust after work tonight. The stump was pretty gnarly and broken slivers from the lightning struck part were breaking off, so I put on my chaps. 30 seconds later a 1 inch by foot long sliver broke off and shot right into my lower calf, if it weren't for the chaps I would definitely be getting a dozen stitches. There is a 3" by 1/2" tall swollen spot and it's starting to bruise pretty good, but chaps are worth every penny!
