To use a sports analogy, Always better to learn from a win then to learn from a loss. You may have lost the chain but there were no lost fingers or broken bones, and that is a win. Never a bad time to share a teaching moment about safety. Glad you were alright and if it helps somebody else, its a win-win.

Don't be embarrassed. If this can stop another person from doing similar or worse then this post has been useful. I almost lost half of my left index finger to a table saw doing something I knew I should have set up properly but it was the last cut. Kicked myself for months over that, still do now 3 years later. Even with plastic surgery I still don't have much feeling down one side or the tip, but otherwise still have full use of it. We were laying laminate flooring,I was the cutter-had to rip a few pieces on the table saw....Lets just say,I lost about 1/16 th off my right thumb,missed the bone (thank God)..It happens...

Thanks for the safety reminder. Enough said.
