<<I agree about the chain saw. The argument was , would hitting the spikes be dangerous to the logger via flying broken chains? My contention was that this was nonsense.
Chain would probably not break and if it did would stay in the cut anyway. Whatdaya think?>>

From my experience a chunk or metal just ruins the chain and stops the saw. Worst thing was when a guy had been using my saw and handed it to me to cut a small branch, which I did without checking the chain first. As I finished the cut the chain jumped the bar and stayed on the sprocket. Oh boy.

Like both nihil and I have said, it's the mills where the spikes wreak havoc knocking off teeth and snapping band saws.
