I survived a childhood regularly using a radial arm saw. My dad was very clear I was not old enough to use it until I was 12, and then we did a full afternoon of what the proper way to use it and how to get hurt using it.

These are literal power tools with spinning blades of death. You shouldn't use these without training and you should understand how you get hurt on one of these. I see this as government overreach yet again. I'd only be ok with this if the requirement has an expiration date so that way it doesn't block future innovation.
