WOW... Things you only think about looking up after it happens. My accident was so fast I had to go back to the table and recreate (in my mind) what happened. I had been using a table saw for over a year safely and wisely.
Anyhoo, I'm thankful to say that I only suffered from a broken finger and 3 stitches in the tip. I have small hands too. I had old slick gloves cutting laminate flooring. Slick met slick. I hit the blade so hard with my finger when the blade caught the glove it pushed the blade into the fence a 1/4 away.

I had no idea that gloves were dangerous. I thought I was being careful. This information needs to be more out there.
