Chain saws are certainly one of those things that I actually do have patience to use properly without cutting corners when it comes to safety. A lot of people I know who use chain saws have that "Oh, I'll be right, I'll just be careful! Bound to experience a little kick back every time I use it!" attitude, which I don't like (especially since the only safety equipment they use are gloves, which is pretty stupid). The only problem is, even with all the safety equipment, there's no guarantee that everything's fine. My chain saw has undergone a lot of modification to ensure safety - it originally had no chain brake, so the saw's been quite severely altered to have one fitted. Cost me quite a few bob, but as I always say, better safe than sorry.
