Texas Storm Damage Chainsaw Chaps Cut 2025

On June 9, 2025, a saw team of 4 sawyers was dispatched to the area of Bonham, Texas to assist with the cleanup from a tornado that hit the town the night before. Sawyer 1 was making cuts on one end of a pile of downed trees while Sawyer 2 was working on the other side of the pile to clear the road faster. During Sawyer 1’s second cut on a limb, a 4-inch diameter limb pushed the saw onto their leg at an unknown throttle position. The chaps worked exactly as designed, and no injuries resulted.
