...just a simple question. If the machine is capable of 1/64ths of an
inch
cut and common wisdom is not to exceed 1/8" at a time on a 6" machine, how
can you ever get hurt unless the piece is too thin or narrow or short to
begin with?

No matter how idiot proof a tool is, the world keeps coming up with bigger
and better idiots. Someone will run a piece that is too thin, too narrow,
or too short to begin with.

I can easily see someone taking a 6" wide cut 1/8" deep off the palm of
their hand.
