Edwin, I think you and Brian are correct, I could have worded the question better but I fear none of it would make a difference.
In gross generalizations
Some who responded simply didn't get what I was trying to reveal.
Others refuse to believe that their methods are more of a danger than the tool being used.
And yet others seem to think that adding "safety" features to a tool absolve them of responsibility.
The entire point is that the tool does what you make it do, you're the operator, you're the one in control, at least you should be. Getting a tool that stops the blade or shuts off or whatever, doesn't solve the underlying issue of what cause the accident.
It's exceedingly difficult to encourage people to work safely when they project their mistakes onto the tool.
Of course there are variables but there are with everything we do.
As for semantics, I believe words matter.
Did the saw cut his finger? OR Did he cut his finger on the saw?
There is a difference, maybe not to his finger but in how the injury is characterized.
Please pay attention ans work safe
