Thinking more about push-sticks and table saws-- What are the chances
that an errant pushstick will yank one's hand towards the blade? Hmmm...
Exceedingly small. The rotation of the blade is towards you, so if
the stick gets tangled in the blade, it's coming back at you. It
might put your eye out, but it's unlikely to suck your fingers in. You
don't reach behind the blade, do you?

It's not the stick kicking back that's the danger.
It's your hand moving into the blade once the thing you're pushing
against in gone.
