Anti kickback chains, legal requirment?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Ive been moaning about these anti kick back chains cos they are absolute rubbish. A little birdy told me we HAVE to use them now as it is a legal reqiurment, is that true, universal or just to AAAC's?

Think it might be a legal requirement there teaching it in cs30 as a saftey feature so Im presuming it is.
