Cheap lesson learnt I guess!
You have to give him credit for sharing this misadventure.
But is this a classic case of another instant expert mitt der video camera showing the great unwashed out there how it’s done.
I don’t watch YouTube experts, never have, never will.

I note the comment the operator was 14 years old. There's probably more to be known about a 14yo being alone in a well equipment workshop making a video on his own, but then maybe that's just my ageism showing up.
A lucky boy. Things could have been far worse. He will remember that long after the bruise goes away. May even think of a safer way to cut tenons. It would have to have hurt like hell. I would need to lay down for at least a week after a hit like that.

In my shop class (in the USA in high school) growing up there were a few instances of hard lessons learned on table saw kickback (before saw had riving knives) and guards.
One day I was walking by the woodshop and saw a kid laid out cold in front of the table saw and the window broken behind him. I went in and asked the shop teacher what happened and he said the table saw kicked and hit the kid square in the safety glasses.
The shop teacher then proceeded to say he (the kid) will wake up in a few minutes and maybe he will follow the rules better next time.
I've always been incredibly careful after seeing that and made sure I knew all of the safety rules. You have to respect the tools or you will pay the price.
I never had a kickback on that table saw by the way but I followed all the rules.

A most interesting channel showing actual repairs, mostly on mining machinery parts.
Worth watching just to see the sort of tooling used in the process, most of which I personally didn't know even existed!
The size and weight of the parts to be repaired are pretty impressive too!
As mentioned, safety comes first, always!
