Are there any chainsaw trousers etc that will stop an electric saw?

 

If not, aren't the increasing decent cordless saws a recipe for injuries?

That Stihl ms160 cordless of mine would stall cutting a loaf of crusty bread but cuts beautifully through wood when used correctly and that tiny chain kept sharp .

Also there is no overrun of chain has it has a electric brake has soon has you take finger of trigger .

Cordless saws are a lot less aggressive and no were near the same torque has a equivalent petrol saw .

Today cut trousers are well above coping with cordless saw .

Nope . Don't think so . The ballistic materiel will wrap around the sprocket just the same as it would any other saw . Probably stop it quicker on an electric as they are " dead stop " any way ....
