Most people would rather go bankrupt than lose a finger. Fingers are kind of important. If I can choose to keep my house or my finger, I’m definitely choosing the finger.
So just divide the average net worth of a saw operator by the cost of a saw to get how many saws a finger is worth.
The guys I've seen lose fingers were all sleep-deprived and working flat out. The biggest risk to site safety is sleep deprivation and physical exhaustion.

Really? I would definitely rather lose a finger than go homeless. Homeless people have far, far worse life outcomes than people with missing fingers.
A specific person isn’t the average homeless person who tend to be dealing with addiction, physical or mental illness, past incarceration, etc.
So talking about the average outcomes of a random homeless person doesn’t really apply here.

Many older woodworkers lost fingers often multiple fingers in multiple accidents.
So, the risk is really quite high here.
