Well, never say never but do be careful. Glad to see you still standing and

You're not alone. Glad to hear you're OK.

I had one recently also. It was my first one. No splitter and no push
block.

How did yours happen? Were you using a splitter? How big was the piece
you were cutting?

I was cutting 1/2" plywood that was 6" wide. I thought I had it all the way
through. I apparently had another inch or so to go and I had my head in my
rear and took my right hand off of the board and whammo it got me. No more
late night stints for me.

On my system it looked like an email message attached to the note.
(eml extension rather than a normal graphic file extension). I
initially rejected it as probably malicious, but after seeing people
here talking about it and not complaining about their system crashing,
I let my email reader open it. Try assigning your email reader to the
..eml extension. Windows defaulted to assigning outlook express on my
system, but it works fine with Thunderbird.

been on the receiving end of a kicked back 2x4 into the ribs so am aware of
the danger and hurt!! Thanks, Alex.

"Upscale" posted a very disturbing, graphic image...

I remember well the nasty bruise I got from a kickback. Mine was on the
right side of the abdomen. It took weeks to heal too.

This makes my old injury look like a pimple or something. In terms of pure
ugliness, shape and location, this has got to win some kind of prize.

It was "Dave" from that suffered the kickback and posted
the image. I reposted it because it was originally posted in an .eml
attachment that some were hesitant to open.

However, it seems if you had

the kickback would not have happened.

Thanks for the info Mark. I will be getting one from Grizz in a week or so
when I go to Springfield, Mo.
I went to my Dr to get it checked out and he did a blood count to see if my
white count was elevated to eliminate the possibility of internal bleeding.
I got a normal count. Thank the Lord. He called it a severe hematoma and was
advised to keep ice on it for 2 or 3 days. I felt that I should post the
picture in order that it would be a warning to others about being careless.

I got a severe hematoma once. It was very painful. My dentist nicked a blood
vessel while putting some novacaine in me. I ended up with a very large
ball bulging out from my neck. Between the pain meds, ice and a lot of rest,
most of it went away in about three days. It took about a week before
normalcy was restored. I have no desire to repeat that experience again.

Good to see that the only real injury was to your pride. Those kinds of
injuries are far better than other kinds. And try to not do any heavy
lifting for a few days. ;-)

Back in the farrier days of my youth, shoeing horses to pay for school, I
did exactly that to a "world champion" paint horse ... and right before a
big show.

The horse was a real booger to shoe, she had injured a number of farrier's,
and no one else around town would work on her. I had used Acepromazine, a
tranquilizer which had to be administered intravenously, on her successfully
in the past just to get her ready for the show ring, but this time I nicked
her jugular and within a few hours she had a basketball sized hematoma on
the side of her neck.

Mortified as I was, the owner's were surprisingly philosophical about it. I
still shudder when I think about it. Probably get sued to hell and back in
this day and age.

Kickbacks will travel at approximately the same speed as the tips of the blade
teeth. On a typical 10" saw, that's about 110 mph.

I have a few spare sheckles.
