No you won’t, you’ll call someone to plug the hole cause the gains do not outweigh the risk.

The point of a buzzsaw is to do most of the force work FOR the body. If a double edged sword ends up being pushed to your body, who cares? You are fighting against the force and without force the blade won’t scratch you in most cases…you want to know what doesn’t require a lot of force to cut?

A buzzsaw

I fail to see how requesting that the edge closer to the body be covered is not worth it so as to avoid the user getting a Darwin Award.

Even in real life those things are covered on one side, because even if you doubt an engineer would ever get into a position to cut himself, shit happens.
