It's very interesting how many "non-trivial" things can go wrong with power tools. Kickbacks for example. They sound very trivial when you know about them. But to the layman that does a one off cut with a table saw, circular saw, chain saw, angle grinder, ... it's not so intuitive.

One might say and be very careful but then a kickback shows up and causes brown pants at best, a life changing injury or death at worst.
