I see the farmer where I have my yard using one like this to cut up his firewood. He is in his eighties, and still has all his fingers!

Perfectly normal basic sawbench. We had one, on the farm. Cut lots of wood and no fingers.

It's so OBVIOUSLY dangerous, the operator tends to be careful.

It's classic risk compensation - one might define a truly dangerous scenario as one where the apparent risk is much lower than the actual risk.

As I always pointed out to my students in an engineering workshop, which was potentially the most dangerous place in the college, more accidents happened in classrooms.

If you have someone who habitually comes into your workshop and hoiks themselves up to sit on the edge of the workbench while chatting.......
might stop them mightn't it .
