The saw specially made for people who get their hands caught in the blade. This saw will save a lot of hands if people would buy them.

Excellent post dude
seen my uncle do the very same thing as you when I was younger.
He was a contractor in northern michigan and I was up helping him on some jobs to make a few bucks.
It was early winter and as always in northern michigan colder than hell.
My uncle was ripping some stock on a tablesaw and got distracted for just a moment which was just long enough to cut his thumb straight down the middle.
Just like you said about you accident though my uncle remained totally calm had me wrap his thoumb in a shop rag and drive him to the hospital where they saved his thumb.
He claimed to the day he died that his thumb never hurt when the accident happened .
I always thought that the reason it did not hurt at the time was because it was so cold outside when it happened .
we were both frozen to the bone working that day.

fair play to you loconino, don't get many people posting pics of their own mishaps on here..good post...big pat on the back for your consideration to the Dr members when you almost cut your hand off...
