Don't try and cut damp wood or you will destroy the blade every time

Good point. I wonder how they get around that.

I would guess that removing the riving knife or blade guard as you see
on a lot of Youtube videos, especially from the USA, may account for
many of the 68k USA injuries rather than cutting your fingers off

I removed mine, otherwise how the hell do you cut thicker wood? I just keep my fingers a good distance from the blade. I don't cut tiny things with a huge saw.

One form of kickback (there are others demonstrated on many table saw
safety videos)

Yeowch! I was wondering who you could get kickback in that direction.
