Men over 50 should not use a chainsaw.

The wise old farmer in Crawfordville who used to own my farm liked to say that men over 50 should not use a chainsaw as it could kill them. I think he meant from the vibration. Has anyone else ever heard of this?

I've never heard that. Interesting though. I do think people with no training shouldn't use a chainsaw though.

Especially if you don't know how to properly cut down a tree.

My wife banned me from cutting down trees at about that age...You drop one tree on the workshop.
Now I'm only allowed to play with my little battery powered chainsaw.

It's a hard reality going from the guy people call for help to having to call people for help.

I still lug around my old Stihl. Did lose a buddy to a chainsaw/ladder. He was over 50. RIP
