far less i would say. we deliberately use the tip (but with a carving bar the kickback zone is less and the effect is reduced) BUt.. its deliberate so a kick is expected. we are also payign far more attention to exactly where the chain/tip is all teh time to avoid making an overcut that would ruin the piece. this is form somebody who also does forestry/logging and so i see both sides of it. we are also predominantly working in a controlled environment, unlike in the middle of the woods

thats not to say that there are no risks, BUT its all about risk management, experience, and (usually) a gradual increase in difficulty with experience

chainsaw carving i reckon is dead safe i reckon compared to climbing/dismantling or felling. what dervish said about the tip of the bar is right. i find there is virtually no kickback on carving bars. your on even ground and and long as you don't get too relaxed about you'll be fine. the closest shaves i have had are ususally just moving reet big lumps of oak with telehandlers etc.
