Tool Safety

They claim you have a million to one chance of cutting your finger off using a table saw.
I guess I cut a million and one pieces of wood. .

I cut the side of the tip off a finger in high school shop. Sent to the principal's office. He had me walk 6 blocks to the hospital for stitches.

What are those odds? I can't win 10 bux with the lottery. Luckily it wasn't my trigger finger so the Army still took me.

Does that count as cutting a finger off?

Or qualify for a purple heart?

After a lifetime of woodworking for a living,my dad finally cut off his thumb at 78 on a table saw.Sold his motorcycle because they told him he'd never be able to run it.After he healed up he got mad because he found he could run the bike after all,and shouldn't have sold it.He just passed a couple of weeks ago,at 88,but he was still driving his 37 Plymouth until he parked it last fall.
