But that's how it is: people do cut their fingers off on table saws. They all know what you said. And yet 30 K accidents per year in the US alone. It is a serious problem.
I never bought one because it's just too big of a risk.
Just because you're afraid of woodworking doesn't mean you should kill it for everyone. If this passes only professionals will be able to continue, which presumably is what the lobbyists want.
It's no different to Apple insisting that only they should repair Apple products, and hobbyists should be trusted.
Do you risk losing fingers by repairing your Iphone?
