Jack, you sound exactly like all the people that eventually did have
an accident. Almost verbatim your words came out of their mouths.
The longer you go with out having an accident the closer you are to
having one.


Not true. If the chances of anyone having an accident are X, then having
had no accidents doesn't increase your chances. That's elementary in
statistics.


People ain't dice though. There are two good reasons the chances of an
accident increase over time. One is complacency. Get too nonchalant
and whack, one less fing-ee. The other is age. The longer you go w/o
accident, the older ya get. The older ya get, the more useless ya get
and one day, whack, another fing-ee bites the dust....

Perhaps the Gov't should mandate anyone buying/using a saw past the age
of 60 or 65 MUST buy a SS.
