I bought a chainsaw recently for $10. I then bought about $100 of kevlar armor to wear while I use the saw.
No money => no safety
Take a look at history as far back as it will go. Safety expenses only happen when the money is there.
Next time you see someone using a chainsaw, take a look at their protective equipment. If they work for a company, they're likely wearing:
1. ear protection
2. face shield
3. helmet
4. kevlar gloves
5. kevlar chaps
6. kevlar boots
If they're some rando with a saw, odds are pretty good they have none of that on. They won't spend their own money on their own safety. It's only deemed essential if someone else is paying for it.
