knew a guy who got his hand stuck in an industrial wood chip shredder, which is a two man operation. he was running it solo and when his hand got stuck he could not reach the stop lever (he had to mentally/manually pull his arm out against the shred). it ate him up pretty good, but they sewed his hand to his inner thigh and ported off the femoral to regrow skin tissue. I do believe the graft took (still looked like he was ate up by a shredder), but he regained partial use of his limb.

I do keep the plastic hood on my blade (but hate it), and also hate the anti kick back tongs.

I was raised on a push stick and still implement today. Always have had a healthy respect for the table saw.

However, the mitre/chop saw has almost ripped me a new one on several occasions.
