How many people here have had a significant kickback incident?

How bad was it? Was it just a 'put a bandaid on it and get back to
sawing' incident or a 'Im not sure I ever want to touch a tablesaw
again' incident? Was it really a life threatening issue?

About 15 years ago, I was doing a test cut on my table saw. I stupidly
used a short piece of 2X4 (about 4 inches long). I was holding it
gingerly instead of using a push stick and didn't have a firm grip on
it. Needless to say, it kicked back right on my left tit. I yelled out
and cursed in at least three languages. The LOML thought I had chopped
off a hand or something. No blood on the outside, but my tit turned
all kinds of neat colours, purple, blue, green, red, yellow, etc. No
permanent damage.
