ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Chainsaw safety clothing

Okay kiddo, you know how when you're playing outside, you wear your helmet and knee pads to keep you safe? Well, when grown-ups use a machine called a chainsaw to cut down trees or branches, they need to wear special clothing too to stay safe.

First, they wear a hard hat to protect their head. The hard hat has a strong shell that can keep them safe if they accidentally hit their head with the chainsaw.

Next, they wear a jacket made of special fabric that stops the chainsaw if it accidentally touches the jacket. This fabric is really strong and can protect them from getting hurt.

They also wear gloves that are thick and tough. These gloves can protect their hands from getting cut by the sharp chainsaw.

Their pants are also made of special fabric that stops the chainsaw from cutting them. These pants have several layers of strong material that can keep them safe.

Lastly, they wear boots that are extra thick and have a special material that can keep them safe from the chainsaw. These boots have a non-slip sole that can help them keep their balance while they work.

So remember, just like how you wear protective gear to keep safe when you play outside, grown-ups wear chainsaw safety clothing to stay safe when they work with a chainsaw.
