I know that many of you do not visit the General Woodworking Forum on a regular basis but I invite you to please checkout and vote on the 2 polls about shop safety/ accidents. Only with as many woodworkers as possible casting votes, will we get a true picture of the accidents actually occuring in WW shops.

Yep. Voted there.
I've been cut more with knives, chisels than machinery.

Shelly,
Like Dave Anderson, my reported accident was with a chisel. I stuck a 3/4" chisel into the web between my thumb and first finger down to the bone by having my left hand below the cut when the stock suddenly released. Just plain dumb, but that is how accidnets happen. I have only slight residuals from this, and figure I am quite lucky.

Alan - your and Dave's accidents sound exactly what was, up until last week, my only injury in the shop......a chisel stuck in my finger from released grain! That was 5 years ago.....and still to this day it reminds me to keep my free hand away from the direction I am paring.:rolleyes:

Oh, I get it now Alan, were calling it an accident even if no amputation was involved. My bad. I need to change my input! :D
