Oh, you'll be okay Dave -- it was just a mention so you wouldn't do what I did. I haven't since. Just remember things can get caught in reverse as well as forward.
And they are very handy for positioning a log.
Again there's a difference between a moving wedge type and the stationary type. The moving wedge also benefits from side bars because they tend to keep the split pieces from falling on the far side of the splitter, or on your toes.
You can uaually pick up the splits without moving and throw them where you want them piled.
On a fixed wedge type, I imagine they tend to push off the end, so any supports would need to be further back.
