Am I wrong for thinking that if you're at risk of losing a finger to a table saw, you're using it wrong?

No, you’re not, but you are wrong if you think anyone is capable of using a tool correctly 100% of the time.

I suspect none of you own a table saw. As someone who does, some cuts require you to remove guards and safety parts. Even pushing the wood through the blade too quickly can cause kickback and injury. It is very easy to injure yourself when operating a table saw.

I only got injured on a table saw once and it was kickback on a saw I don't own. Not certain, but I think I was not used to the high rotation speed of the blade. Minor injuries but I am very very careful when using my table saw...to the point that I will not use it at all if I think I am too tired.
