This is full throttle with a large saw too. There is a lot of examples out there of them stopping trim saws or coasting off throttle accidents coming nowhere close to injury.

Chainsaw chaps saved my leg after the saw kicked back. even if the saw had been ruined ( it wasn't, took very little time to clear) it would have been worth it.
Of course it would've been worth it! you'd still have your leg! I don't get people complaining about clearing the saw,.. I'd rather have a mangled saw than no leg lol
Same here but not due to kick back. The tree began to fall and I stumbled as I was backing away. Saw came across my thigh. Only went through 4 layers. Had I only been wearing jeans I would likely have bled out before my wife could get me to the truck.
@@johnnyfred2125 Similar stroy here. Stumbled, hit my left knee with the blade still moving. Without chaps, I would likely have lost mobility in my left knee. I only had to clean the saw and got away with light bruises
Great lesson for the young beginner ... why these pants can save your life. It is however a bit of an expensive demo. Hope there were a lot of onlookers who paid for the class with enough money to cover the chaps. No worries about cleaning the saw ... thats the next lab exercise. Ha
The chaps were damaged before, but this is a $55 pair that have been viewed by about 25 million people across all platforms, I wouldn't lose any sleep even if they were brand new
@@UMFK_Forestry Right, you must have gotten a deal $$$. The ones around here recommended to our BSA leadership by the chain saw instructor began at $150 and went up. We were glad we had a set. One trainee slipped while initially practicing on a stick and the saw grazed his leg ... was enough to draw out the fibers and have everyone REALLY wake up. His dad was there and groaned ... not because it didn't save his son ... but because the wife would be all over him due to the replacement cost. Ha!
Saw someone at the bar with full orange sweater, hat, and chaps. They also had a headlight on, alone sipping his beer. I told him he had a great outfit got him to smile at least but he didn’t socialize with anyone all night. Cool guy tho
Well Firstly thats Not for Fashion its for Safety...And Second,Why do You Wanna Walk Around the Street wearing that instead of Getting into Work Cutting Trees.
My dad gave me a Stihl chainsaw with a 14” bar for my birthday and wrapped them in a pair of chaps. Those chaps have saved my kegs more times from axes and machetes that chainsaws. I have used the chainsaw a few times in the past month and a half since I got it on smaller trees but so far no accidents (knock on wood)
Keep using them. I have worked with chainsaws for more than 5 years, never needed the chaps (in my case: protective trousers, but I'm not a native speaker. You get the point). Stumbled and fell backwards while cutting a tree, blade hit my left knee. Without them, I would likely have lost mobility in my left leg. Keep wearing them, one day you might need them. For axes and machetes: there are metal plates you could use. Makes you look like a medieval knight and works way better. Just a suggestion.
Doesn't matter how hot it gets, my chaps are always on, and they are full of little nicks and cuts. If you run a saw enough, eventually you'll get into your legs. Usually after a long week of running a saw 10 hours a day, you get lazy and bring the saw to rest on your left thigh. The lazier you get, the closer the chain gets to your pants. Plus, trips happen a lot in the woods, snags, limbs, all the stuff that can get you off balance. They are especially nice in the winter, for obvious reasons lol. Even not running a saw, chaps are great. If youre pushing your way through the woods, its nice to not have limbs and pokey bushes stabbing your legs. And when you clean up brush you can just walk into the pile and use your legs to crunch things together nicely.
I slipped last weekend cutting some small trees on the side of a hill and my ms170 went through my pants and my pocket saved me, probably going to invest in these.
After hitting my knees on 3 separate occasions, I finally ditched my heavier saws for a nice smaller light one (gets the job done just as well) And I don't cut when I'm fatigued, no more accidents 💯👌
I have that saw, and those chaps!! Purchased them the same day and never looked back. I was using a bow saw and a pole saw prior to that purchase, one of the best investments I have made to date.
I seen it happen they took the chainsaw pulled the blade and the arm off of it and cleaned it up put it right back into service no big deal took him 5 minutes
I used to use similar to these for weed whacking. Never thought they'd actually be any useful for chainsaws. Didn't realize they were designed to tangle the chain. So cool!
One of these Trousers saved my leg after struggling with a running Chainsaw.....Stil on the Air🤗 and i still have the complety destroyed Trousers in my Garage for always remembering me......
I’ve nicked my chainsaw chaps before. Didn’t stall out the saw or anything, it was just a nick that tote them a bit. Even that tho would have been many stitches or maybe a severed artery. My stepdad got 400 stitches in his leg from a chainsaw. He managed to tie it off and drive himself to the hospital.
They’re made with a special nylon fabric that is made to bind when hit like that, although gas and oil does deteriorate the effectiveness of them over time, it’s just better to practice good cutting methods and know your limitations when running a saw, the chaps won’t always work, push ,pull, kickback, and attack are useful to know with the bar quadrants
“These are my old ones” *as he shows the cleanest pair of pants of all time* Dude must’ve sat in his truck watching everyone else work or somethin😂😂😂😂😂
Those saved my life a couple times if I wasn't wearing chsps I would be here rn seriously don't cut unless you have chaps I was an experience lumber jack for 6 years
I own these and have ran a saw into a pair. While they are awesome, it does suck cleaning out the bar and chain afterward. But better than a trip to the hospital.
Wow, I never knew chaps worked that well honestly. I always kind of felt they were “silly” but if someone truly had an event where there was a saw strike this would ABSOLUTELY save your legs.
I wish we took this shit seriously back on the farm. I watched my uncle damn near cut off his leg when it kicked back. 23 staples and 40 stitches after they laid him open to clean out all the dirt, leaves, bark, sawdust and twigs (yes, twigs) from his hip down to his knee. We had three belts tied around his leg just to hold it all together. Because once it bit him it ran down while going in. Amazing fact is it missed the arteries completely.
I Swear by these . Was using a 038 mag with a 25 bar was felling a dead tree in Australia. Pulled the saw out went to reposition and the saw stopped . Looked down and it just caught my chap and died . If i didnt have them on out come would have been far worse .

Don't. Warm, uncomfortable and ugly. So it goes both ways:
Only touch a chainsaw with chaps on.
Only wear chaps when using a chainsaw.
It's truly amazing how well those chaps work.
I do tree work for a living. Chaps are a must. I've personally seen them save people's legs .

Next test with an electric one I want to see those results
Why, it will bind up too.
@@Ryan-re1rs theres a rumor they dont bind up electrics nearly as well making them ineffective. I have no idea if its true or not
@@Ryan-re1rs they better be electric rated. Electric saws run much higher torque, which can affect how well and fast the chaps stop it.
th-cam.com/video/7tdwa3ff5HA/w-d-xo.html
I thought electrics torque out easier?
I couldn't be wrong, never used one.
Thats the cleanest retired pair of chaps ive ever seen. So clean in fact the guy couldnt even tell if they were his old ones or new ones.
Lol
Those chaps look newer than the ones you’re wearing.
These are worth their weight in gold
Damn that looked like a dangerous experiment but obviously testing safety gear…
That’s so badass how it just gums up the entire saw and saves your legs
A pair of these saved my leg and nuts in high school...

That's always a good choice, it's not that expensive any more but gives a lot more safety

Just a tip, hope this helps

Yes the fibers are meant to jam the whole thing up just like that
Seriously good question, I never thought of chaps working like that..
