How many people here have had a significant kickback incident?

I had a 1x1 piece of hickory kick past me 12' to the wall, put a 1/2"
deep dent in a solid-core door leaning there then bounce back, hit the
opposite wall 25' feet away, and land on the floor in front of the saw.

I've never been hit, because I never stand in the kickback path.

My wife, Oct 27 2005 after having to fill in at another department.

So this piece traveled a total distance of 37 feet? It traveled 12' in one
direction, hit a door, turned 180 degrees and traveled 25 more feet??? Was
the second leg of its trip mostly sliding on the ground? How powerful was
the saw and did the piece fly off at face level?
