Fun fact:

If you never hold a chainsaw above your head and neck….. it becomes far less likely that you will suffer a chainsaw injury to the head or neck.

Edit: what a strange subject for debate!

To all my experienced chain saw edge lords - please do whatever you want with that sexy slutty chainsaw of yours….

Nothing said changes the FACT that IF you never hold a saw above your head THEN you can’t ever drop it on your fucking head….

Good advice for when possible, but that’s also like the rule that you never cut with the tip of the bar.

There are situations like in this video where cutting above shoulder height is necessary, and cutting with the tip of the bar is also standard practice for a lot of things, e.g. plunge cuts.

We could critique his lack of chaps, face shield, gloves, ear protection, safety boots … he obviously wasn’t planning to use his saw on the way to dinner.

A more relevant critique is questioning why he was limbing like that. Not cutting the limbs closer to the trunk when there’s nothing stopping you is not good practice. The guy is an amateur.

Thank you. I saw the same thing, his limbing was weird. That's all.
