Most of the problems you mention , the pinching of the bar and the occasional kick back can be avoided with experience and/or training .  Its good that you identified the hazards . I'm with Mick . Chopping is with an axe .  

What about terms like ( Lunchbox and chopper) where do they fit in stubby 🤭

Yea, this project is still on going, its pretty lengthy.

I've used a saw but really want to gather more than just my own experiences. 

So you got cs39? When I did it 9 year ago one of the instructors said climbers most often cut their left forearm and groundies their left thigh. You've seen the research? Have things changed?

The problem is the figures are hard to come by. They’re either not collected or not public. Or in the case of minor injuries, they’re never reported. That’s why I need to come on to forums to ask for people’s experience.
