The rest of your points stand (though I suspect a saw particle colliding with your jaw is unlikely to cause damage as severe as cutting off your finger), but any responsible person will be wearing safety goggles when operating a table saw.
- tene 4y agoI have never used a table saw before, but from my amateur youtube understanding, safety goggles aren't perfect protection against kickback, right? Like, if I've got a chunk of wood being hurled at my face at high speeds, I'm definitely going to prefer to be wearing safety goggles, but I can still imagine the wood coming in at an angle and knocking them away, or being hit with enough force to break the goggles.
- viraptor 4y agoYou're unlikely to get hit by larger pieces of wood at high speed. Dust, small chunks, maybe a part of the saw may come flying at you, but i suspect they're way more likely than large wood chunks. But if you believe this photo was not staged, then safety goggles are pretty good https://external-preview.redd.it/qVMDLhaXQN8Vd9UI6d5fDswF396ZNv3B2rPwg3OYGso.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=2d1e186652a4ece3b1310d91ae4b7f2b875d8b56 https://external-preview.redd.it/qVMDLhaXQN8Vd9UI6d5fDswF396...
