I hate silkys :(

[scotty-w]

They have got to be the most dangerous tool!!

 

I did this yesterday. It ripped part of my nail clean off.

I've nearly caught myself a couple of times this week mate but you wouldn't catch yourself like that with the 200 I reckon with me I just get complaisant because it's not a chainsaw.

[scotty-w]

I think your right I don't tend to think about it as much as I do when I have a chainsaw in my hands

[scotspine1]

silkys are like chainsaws.......they dont cut, they remove material, its good to keep this in mind when using either

[David Goss]

OUCH!!!

That looks sooooooo sore!

I dropped mine the other day and made the mistake of trying to catch it, needless to say there was blood involved but nowhere near as bad as yours mate. i say again OUCH!!

[Lorry thompson]

They are dangerous bits of kit and so sharp you can sometimes cut yourself and not realise! I've got down from a tree before and honestly not known where the blood stains have come from. It's our own fault though and I was thinking the other day if I can cut myself it must be pretty easy to cut my prussic pretty scary really

[gensetsteve]

ouch I dont own one would not trust myself with one and wont be getting one

[Jarbman]

I went to catch mine as it fell today, endend up with 4 of the smallest/deepest cuts. blood everywhere! now 4-5 hours later there is barely a scratch just a small cut on the top of my thumb!

irony is i was telling a neighbour about how sharp the mothers are literally 30 mins prior to this happening!

I did a similar thing a few months back to my little pinky finger nail, soon grew back:thumbup:
