Do all professional chainsaw users think joe public users are fools?

[egnsean]

that about sums up my feelings....except for the last line

[egnsean]

Agreed, i dont always wear PPE. On a work site yes, but when at home using the saw or processing firewood for myself i dont always wear it.

 

Common sense goes a long way in this industy.

respect

[windfall]

My work is so dodgy that most amateur users are better than me anyway.

 

I only wear the PPE to look cool.

 

 

superb...

 

I personally love the braces, and the special pocket in my ballistic pants for my knife.

[egnsean]

Yes I agree, that comment was a bit pathetic

 

Clearly some people have a different view of danger to others.

 

When using a saw, you are in control of the situation and as you state your experience equips you to know what to expect.

 

In reality driving is far more dangerous, if I'm on the Mway doing 70mph, I am only in control of my vehicle, not all the other vehicles, that could be being driven by assorts of different people, the very young, the very old, the very stupid, people on mind altering substances, people contemplating suicide, I could go on.

 

Yes give me a saw, where I'm controlling most of the situation over driving every time.

you sound like a man with a lot of common sence, something sadly lacking these days in nanny state uk

it seems to me the pros out there automatically assume that joe public should never be allowed anywhere near a chainsaw.

 

 

Presumably you have spoken to these “pro’s” and or have formulated your opinion from the contents of this and other fora. What you haven’t counted is the silent masses who don’t care what you do and can’t be bothered to make mention of it. On the other hand you have the vocal minority who seem to have touched your paranoia giving you the impression that they are indeed out to get you.

 

I like many others couldn’t give a monkeys what Joe public does with a chainsaw. For my part there is nothing I can do about it so I see no point wasting time or energy on the issue although I will admit to watching when the opportunity presents, purely out of morbid curiosity.

 

Relax and carry on, the vast majority don’t care enough to look twice.
