The question is about how many people get hurt slowly sliding their
hands into a blade versus tripping or slipping and putting their hand
in very rapidly.

Have you ever ripped with a 3 or 5 HP cabinet saw and a real rip
blade? Your hand is typically moving rather quickly while performing
this operation.

And that's what push-sticks and feather boards are for.

They have nothing to do with hand speed, which is the statement I
responded to.

The point is that your hand shouldn't be anywhere near the blade, no
matter the speed.
