My thought: We have to police ourselves. We don't need more regulations to force orselves to be more careful. You can injure yourself with a screwdriver if you don't pay attenion, much less something spining at thousands of revolutions per second.

Every time I turn on my table saw I have already gone through a mental checklist on how is this dangerous? EVERY cut is dangerous. So I have to remind myself, what can go wrong here? How can I make this cut safer? Where is the blade in relation to my fingers?

I am not a professionl, but I was taught proper tool etiquette by those who were. But since they both have had accedints over a lifetime of working, I know that I'm not immune. I can only make sure that I m being as safe as I can be.
