wildly advancing your fingers towards the blade,

As is done when, say, you are pushing a bit of wood into the saw and
it jerks out of place and you essentially "fall" forward now that the
wood is no longer offering resistance?

Of course, the blade never stop turning at all on the saw I was using,
but I did manage to put three finges and a thumb in its path before
realizing I was cutting skin and bone - and jerked back.

Only cut clean through one digit and got it sewed and screwed back
on.
