I wear chaps and a hard hat when I use a chainsaw. It’s amazing at the limbs etc that can bang your head and all too easy to cut open a leg.

Men over 50 should not use a chainsaw.

I believe the quote means that men over 50 should work less and let the young bucks do it.
The older we get, the more prone to heart attacks, slips & falls, and accidents in general. If we raise our children right, by the time we're 50, they'll be ready to take over the world's problems.

That looks awesome, what part of the world is that?
Mine has her own chainsaw. Woman loves to make that thing run ! I think it’s the vibration or something .
If you have some sort of medical condition I could understand the advice but otherwise has no logic. What's with the magic number 50???
What else should a man who reaches 50 cease doing on that day?
And yes, I'm over 50.

When I reached 70, I had to face reality.
Bought a saw with a compression release. Couldn't pull one on full compression without causing a heart attack. On a good day when the saw is feeling charitable, i can.
Me and the saw are still doing pretty good.
I have never have been big on getting on a ladder with a chainsaw.
I removed a couple of dozen (or 3) pine trees from my lot, and I became rather adept at chaining them off.

Was going to be a good day trout fishing then this! Slipped in some mud on the Taccoa river and then a large rock took out my left leg. Can’t put any weight on it for three months. I’ve lost my independence for months.

Still use a chainsaw but I gave my neighbor my climbing spikes and belt yesterday. If it's not already done, I will hire someone now.
