Cass, I used your same phrasing, but tried to avoid any misunderstanding by throwing in the " ( ) " part... apparently it didn't work so I'll appologize, didn't want you to misunderstand what I was saying.
It's hard for me to imagine not wearing them, both on the ground and in a tree.... Not only have I heard and seen stories of "accidents" here on TW, but also just got off skype with another industry pro who had an almost-horror story of PPE pants/chaps keeping his chain from taking most of his leg off.
In my mind this could be related to, say, wearing sandals instead of boots. Same difference.
