Looking to be pointed in the right direction.

I have been asked to fill in for an hour and a half next week at the St John Ambulance meetings I go to. My idea was to talk about the inherent dangers of chainsaws and climbing. I am looking for info on suspension trauma and if I can some photos of chainsaw injuries.

 

Part of my 'display' I was thinking of taken in the work saws, 200t, 361, 660 and the 880, I know they are are sthil but I might just put my husky 357xp in to break up the monotiny.

 

Does anybody have ideas how to fill the 1 1/2 hours then?

Can you run a slideshow on injuries, plenty on the net?

[felixthelogchopper]

A trawl on here should supply your pics of chainsaw injuries

On the suspension trauma issue. The guy at work who does all our kit and lifting gear inspections tells me there are now fall arrest harnesses with emergency foot loops so that if you fall and are suspended you can use these integral loops to stand up in and so not lose circulation in your legs before help arrives.

As for 90 minutes of time filling, not so sure.
