The dangers with the ford pinto problem was faulty design; they gas tank was in the wrong place. Whereas with a table saw the dangers are well known. Now if something went wrong and the safety device on the machine failed due to a defect then you might have a point. As it is, it's a saw -- it cuts things you put into it, if you put your finger in it will get cut. I don't believe it is at all comparable to the ford pinto.
