Yeah, it's crazy. I would never have imagined a table saw being able to throw large pieces of wood with such force. I had kickback on an 8-foot long 2x4. It wanted to throw that thing like it was a golf ball.

I probably avoided a broken rib thanks to having all the safety features of the saw on. Beam ended up jammed into the guard instead of jammed into my chest. So many people leave those things off because they're inconvenient. Glad I didn't.
