Silky slip!

[janey]

Ouch. That's a nasty paper cut

 

Those silky's are nasty little things. The only scars I have from doing tree work are from minor brushes with hand saws. Soooo much blood some such relatively small cuts.

Nasty!!! Did myself in with a silky a few years back ... site first aider was more freaked out by the blood then I was

[Stephen Blair]

Heal quick mate

I think it will be a long time before you cut yourself with a Silky again. It's certainly a case of once bitten twice shy. Just be thankfull it wasn't an 020!

Welcome to the club! I've a line of dots across my kneecap where I cut and let fly a branch with too much gusto and my hand and saw came down and the teeth poked straight through my saw trousers reminds ya to keep mindful though

Nasty!

 

Did my index to the bone about a year ago, only just back to normal, silkys need respect, try to use the over arm hold and cut under when ever i can now. Itms

[RobRainford]

ive had little taps with silkys but nothing too bad, i am very glad it wasnt a 200t, but i wouldnt have been holding it that close if it was!

 

its aching today, and i keep trying to yse my fingers seperately, which hurts when i realise they cant move!

Did my left thumb knuckle a few weeks back, top of my thumb is still slightly numb now!!

 

Maximum respect for them now!

Reducing an oak last yeah and was on the outer edge of the canopy and as I hack at a twig that prodded me in the eye... The bit I was stood on snapped and I slapped my self across the forearm with a new sugoi as I steadied myself. Result... Bandaged up, finish the RJ then off to the get it checked out. A bit of tlc an she was fine.
