LOL... Le'me tell ya whipper-snappers bout' a guy who never wore gloves, said he never would, cuz... etc., etc., then he got married... 15 years later, the guy's still wearing gloves - Perspective. To be honest, I did a test - 266 sharp chain- taught lanyand, 90% angle -- cut through in over thee seconds less than four. I've only seen a lanyard cut into twice in 20 years. Both times the chain was useless, obviously not a 90% angle. Most sane people are well aware of the limitations and conditions; absolutes don't apply. Want to get me started, just say the magic words, "this is the only way!"
