I feel we are doing a diservice to the industry and especially arbclimbers.
Ignoring or masking the problem and denying users of top handled saws the information and knowledge to use the saw safely and successfully is Bdangerous!
Letting beuracrats dictate what we can do in the tree in hopes we do not get hurt is only protecting their butts.
As an employer, potentially you could be liable for not training and instructing for proper one hand use because the climber was injured with two hands on the saw when one was the better choice and for all intents and purposes it is a widely acceptable practice.
and so It may (kick) back and bite you in the butt.

It's not the beuracrats. It the manufacturers who design and produce the saws who instruct us to use 2 hands look at the manuals and find me a manufacturer who recommends anything but.
If they were meant for 1 hand there wouldn't be 2handles
