A British magician called Paul Daniels managed to slice some fingers on a table saw. He had been making his own tricks gear for decades.

Safety thinking can slip - you only have to cock up once when you are pushing an amorphous mass into a blade spinning at say 3000 rpm and lose concentration.

Table saws, band saws etc and the like are dreadful.

My wife manages to make a simple drill/driver somewhat dangerous to the point that I have to sometimes fake a reason why husband should take over (yes I am very careful - she's generally sharper than the tool in question!)
