Big Ouch
I had a similar bad experience in May 2005, 600mm * 600mm *16mm MDF back out of triton. I took my eye off the job big time.
Please excuse the belly photo but the colours are interesting. Knocked the stuffing out of me for about 5 minutes.

Thank heavens all is ok. Had a similar incident, lost half a chair leg off the spindle moulder, found leg a couple of days later on top of the shed door-the opposite end to where it flew - this was a big wake up call and guarding has since improved.
I also do a lot of trenching/rebating on the saw, which meant the old guard would be taken off :eek: , the riving knife is adjustable, so always stays in place. Dust was also a problem off the top of the blade.
The solution was to build a suva type guard which has an adjustable height stop so the timber can not be carried over the top of the blade.

Great story mate, I'm sure it's got us all thinking back to similar experiences and also having a look at what we're doing now.
Bad habits have a tendency to keep creeping back in eh?
I've got an ancient Dewalt radial arm saw that I use for trenching and basic mitres, etc. It can be setup at 90deg to cut parallel to the fence.
So, one day I need to cut some long strips, I duly setup the machine and I reckon 3 out of every 5 strips launched out the shed door!
Needless to say I got sick of this and transferred the job to the bs.

I recently rearranged my workshop so the table saw, and myself are facing the open doors. I have too many nasty turns with people creeping up on me!
