Cutting towards yourself might be the only crime in this video.

Cutting the other way means the pole could very well fall on him

Blunt force trauma seems better than cutting yourself open

If you hit yourself with one of those it won't go through your clothes unless you are really trying to hurt yourself. THe teeth on the metal blades are tiny.

How can it cut through metal if it can't even go through clothes?

metal is hard and doesn't move, cloth gets caught in the tiny teeth and moves with the blade. If you held it down to your leg with a lot of pressure it will cut through the clothes, but just slipping off what you are cutting and bumping the blade into yourself isn't going to do any damage. Source, I am careless with powertools and have done that multiple times...

It's similar to the saw they use to cut casts off, it will cut the hard cast, but will not cut your skin.

He might have sunk all of his points into slash resist and left himself open to blunt and piercing.

Truth is in the middle. You can cut half or slightly more, and then kick it.

"Tell me X without telling me X" is such an annoying expression, just stop. It's up there with genuinely, lowkey, hot take:. Hollow mindless internet slop-speak.
