I gave a set of chainsaw chaps to a lady I had just started dating. She showed me a big scar on her shin from a chainsaw. She had legs that went all the way to her shoulders.
But, I digress.
I thought she would like them. Her face betrayed that she didn't. I was soon to find out that safety devices were for
other people. A Nurse that Smoked. (nuff said?)
She once helped her dad swap a tranny out of a subaru on the side of an interstate.
I remember her and her sister making fun of me from her roof for not climbing onto it without a safety line. It was THAT steep. And I'm not a chicken.
I bet she gave those chaps away unused. I extricated myself from that mess after a few months.
FTR, I don't use chainsaw chaps now either. But I don't have scars on my shins,,, yet.
