Or if you feed it the wrong way (!) it'll snatch it right out of your

Uh, yeah.
The jointer guards I have seen do not allow feed in the wrong
direction. Also, unlike some table saw guards, they do not seem
to interfere with the work either. Although I'm a bit doubtful as
to the effectiveness of the guards to protect you from the kinds
of accidents that happen with jointers.
