Space, a chainsaw with no chainbrake isn't dangerous. Of course if you prefer chainbrakes, use them by all means. Chainbrakes jam on at inopportune moments, injuries other than cuts are far more common, people comment on things they haven't tried because they know no different
I've run older saws without them and I've run them with. I've never had one jam on unexpectedly. And yes, a chainsaw without a chain brake is more dangerous than one with. You can not say any chainsaw is not dangerous--another stupid comment. What are you going to do when you're bucking and you hit an unseen nail that jams the chain and throws the saw back at you? How exactly are you prepared for that?
Arguing that a chain brake is dangerous shows a level of stupidity I wouldn't be proud about displaying.
