I say Charles, I am surprised your Canadian equivalent of OHSA has not made the apparel in the photo mandatory PPE. It would take care of the most serious kickback ever.
I imagine the outer layer is high-modulus enough to allow for sizeable impact-cushioning without tearing. Otherwise there would be significant silicon spread in the workshop, and Stick is always warning against getting silicon on wood.
The only downside I can see, is the strain on the vertebral column, especially in older guys. Barring, of course, feelings of personal inadequacy. But such idiosyncratic subjectivities should not stand in the way of good safety regulations.

Or is this another example of ass-hattedness?
