We had a hole in the cinderblock in school where someone let the wood get away from them and the table saw kicked it back. This was in shop class, not a random wall in the school.
The sharp blade isn't the only thing dangerous.
Most amputations on a table saw are because of kickback pulling the worker's hand into the blade. Riving knife, a well adjusted fence, and knowing which cuts have potential for kickback can mitigate this.
