He must have went to home ec instead.

He doesn't appear to have been cut while operating the saw. It just looks like he lost control of the board and took it in the gut. He was doing it wrong and that's why that happened.

I learned that the hard way when I was in my 20s. You elevate the blade just high enough to cut the board feeling as though you're safer because there's not as much exposed blade. In reality, you are maximizing the force that is laterally applied to the work. If the blade is up higher, the cutting force is more vertical - downward, rather than toward you.

I had a board shoot toward me, hitting me at the top of my wiener. I used to keep pens in my pockets and it broke all of them, ruining my pants. I didn't care too much about my pants once I discovered that my wiener was still attached.

I recall that's what shop taught. Blade just breaking the surface.

silly cunt should have kept the board perpendicular to the blade - in line, this would have prevented the throw-back. It's gonna affect his sex life now

 

[Fäthër Cörpsë]

Dude eased up on his pushing pressure before cut was completely through. Blade grabbed the board and kicked it back.

 

[Pajeet]

Nobody saw that coming.

 

[NoConvexity]

Not the kind of kick back you want to participate in.

first of all there was no guard for the blade. because some guards have a mechanism (teeth like) that grabs to the board to help prevent that. also,he didnt have a push stick for such a short piece. that too would have prevented that from happening.

You can't blame a lack of safety features which only perform their function when the operator fucks up.

all table saws come with a guard over the blade. its just that people take them off or dont replace them when broken. and they also come with a push stick. again,up to the operator to use one.

You are not alone in your belief that using a push stick helps to mitigate kick back by keeping the object flat against the table and flush against the fence.

None of that shit matters when you aren't doing it right.

My point is don't fuck up in the first place. Always assume there are no safeguards in place and operate as such because that shit is made in China.

They certainly do. They don't help a whole lot when you feed the short trim on the outside of the blade instead of in between the blade and the fence. There is less material to kick back and you aren't standing in front of it.

Had he fed it the correct way that little sliver would have launched harmlessly by his side. But instead, he bore the full brunt of the errant board because he was standing directly in front of it. That's why you feed the small trim on the inside. It keeps you out of the launch trajectory in case of a bind and release like what happened here.

Don't trust the plastic ones. Buy wooden ones or make your own.
