Just this afternoon I was out doing some pine removal from my woods.
Had dropped a 6", probably 30' tall tree.
Started bucking up the bottom to turn it into a brush pile, then knocked off the branches.
Shut the saw off and set it aside.
Reached down, grabbed a branch and the next thing was I saw something coming right at my face.
I was not quick enough, knocked my safety glasses flying and either the object (pine cone, knot of wood) or the glasses got me right in the left eye.
I have no idea what it was or how it happened. Maybe the branch I grabbed had tension on it and it launched something?
I do believe the glasses, even if thats what hit my eye, did help in deflecting or partially blocking/slowing whatever it was.
So, cover yer dam eyeballs.
