Safety one-liners

[juanroberts]

The fastest way to get new and overconfident chainsaw operators to be careful in quick, easy quips:

Did you know that lumberjacks with decades of experience still die from this activity?

It is harder to cut your arms if both hands hold the saw.

Do you know how many stitches the average chainsaw accident visit to to Emergency Room requires? A: 120.

If you are not wearing pants, long sleeves, helmet, gloves and eye protection, you are underdressed.

Got any others?

 

[TheJollyLogger]

Never cut faster.than you can think...

If this goes wrong, what's the worst that can happen here?...Are you OK with that?

One of my favorites from my old guru Jimmy was, "Leave your ego on the ground, boy, cause the trees don't care how tough you think you are, and gravity is a heartless *****..
"

 

[alanbaker]

Gravity is always on earth (until you get to the edge, then you just fall off
) 32 ft per second squared, the first second you fall 32 ft the second 64 ft then keep doubling the distance for each second, but if you are bouncing of limbs on the way down the above numbers do not work.

 

[Captain Bruce]

Keep the bar nose out of the garden, and in the butt.

Look up, you know where the saw is but what is the tree doing.

2is1 and 1isNone.
It is not the fall, but the sudden stop.
Learn from horrifying statistics, instead of being one is best.
Slow is steady and steady is fast (rescue version of tortoise and hare)
Average chainsaw emergency room visit: 110+ stitches
(we've all probably heard some lower numbers, but then there is some poor s.o.b. picking up that slack... )
.
Some pics are 1 liners, beyond a 1000words, even if can't get a single (non cussing)one out

cuz this game, ain't no game ! half liner/double impact as a tailer in a 1-2 punch(line) sense!
.
i went to a local funeral decades ago, heard such a primal cry from the husband that found his wife on a jobsite drooling from the wrong end of the chipper monster; that still chillingly haunts thru my bones as if they were nothing.
(guess that qualifies as more than 1 line; but has kept me and all around me very safe none the less )

If the chain is moving, keep it in the wood and out of your body.

 

[Bubster]

Don't try to sharpen a chain while it is turning.

 

[7echo]

Don't touch the part whats moving.

Spending quite a bit of my life UP in the Trees myself, i came up with this one:

Cut small stand Tall
Cut Big
Six feet you may Dig

 

[Stihl User]

Cutting with a chainsaw and MOST especially up a tree with a chainsaw i drilled this into my sons:

"You only get one chance to do it right = there is zero room for oops!"

 

[juanroberts]

THERE ARE LEVELS:

The wise person questions and gets it right the first time.
The smart person learns from other’s mistakes.
The regular person learns from their own mistakes.
Then there is the person that never learns.
