I made a little mistake about 10 weeks ago with a 201t, very lucky only some 'none important' ligaments 😁

Ouch! Do you mind me asking how it happened? Ive been climbing a couple of years now and getting more confident. I don't want my confidence to turn into complacency.

Just bringing the saw away from a cut and slipped bringing my arm onto the top of the bar, silly little mistake but scary, great surgeon at northern general hospital sorted it for me 👍🏻

Nice tailoring.

Thanks, it's a damn sight better than the tree looked after I'd finished with it ha ha

That is one neat repair job on your arm.

I was watching Axemen recently and a guy fell out of a boat and dragged his inner arm down the chain of a non running saw - claret everywhere and quite amazing how much damage a light brush with the chain can do.

Interesting info and does show up the common danger areas when using saws.

 

Don't you think its weird though that the left hand gets so many hits, when that's the hand thats always on the handle? When I finish a cut, and move around, my right hand may leave the back handle, but my left is permanently fixed to the front handle. The saw may move, and the chain may come into contact with my body or right hand, but no way the left.

 

Im not disputing the data, I'd just love to know the reason.

 

Sharpening? Most likely time for a left hand to come into contact with the chain, and amazing what damage a non-running chain can do. Depends on how the statistics are compiled.
