I went to school for furniture design in Savannah. None of the teachers were missing any fingers, but plenty of guys from shops in the surrounding area were. From what I recall all of them had lost fingers from jointers and routers, not table saws.
Loosing a digit from a table saw certainly happens, but some of the other tools are less obvious and equally dangerous menaces.
