>Carol,
When I was about 16 (oh so long ago), I was working on my neighbor's dairy farm. We were clearing a small woodlot, and I cut a small hickory. The hinge didn't break. Feeling invincible as all 16 year olds do, I decided I could finish the cut, delicately of course so I could control the saw. The hinge let loose, even before I finished the cut, and snapped the saw back which then removed the knee of my jeans. Luckily I didn't get a scratch, but I did learn a lesson. As I got older, and became aware of the chaps, I started using them, and always have since.

>Now that I have joined the ranks of chain-sawers I wear heavy gloves and boots. No chaps yet as they don't sell them here. I'll most likely pick them up when I'm in the US.
