I'd like to know what they put in those trousers and how good they are at stopping you cutting your legs off?

I also think those orange Husqvarna Boots look cool

ive seen the trousers ,an old ripped pair they had a stuffing in them too that delayed the blade from an instant bad accident,

I saw dome Husqvarna trousers on a website.

Well, perhaps some enterprising manufacturer should come up with the ultimate chainsaw trousers - the bottom half of a suit of tungsten carbide armour, lined with foam rubber. And a special iron hat, in case the sky falls on you.

And a special iron hat, in case the sky falls on you.

But then you'd end up with the cartoon scenario of a hat with a pair of feet sticking out.

have you broken your arm as a kid? i did several times up trees etc,when in hospital before they put on a cast they put a thickish cotton wool bandage on first followed by the plaster, it was only when i went to have the cast replaced i knew what it was for! i crapped myself it was a saw blade quite small attatched to a dremmel looking tool, then the doctor just ground through the plaster from wrist to elbow, i guess the cotton wool bandage acted like a clutch sort of thing,,ive seen the trousers ,an old ripped pair they had a stuffing in them too that delayed the blade from an instant bad accident,

They us Fein multimasters in hospitals for this, the blade doesn't rotate it oscillates. Not as dangerous as it looks, it scared me too though!!
