Well, it happened in a class at the local Woodcraft store. A student
reached
over the blade to knock off a wood scrap and didn't raise her hand high
enough on the way back. Needed a bandaid.

No blade guards?

If scraps are short enough a blade guard can create the same effect as a rip
fence and cause a pretty serious kick back if the piece gets trapped between
the blade and the inside side of the guard.
