Unless you are dropping a knife ;)

I’ve done this with a new and thus terribly sharp knife. I’d bought it for my mate, so when I knocked it off the bench my reaction was oh no! damage! catch!

The kitchen looked like a scene from Kill Bill. Perfect blood spray in an arc across the wall.

This mate lived with me at the time. And he was a nurse. He came home from his shift about half an hour later and I told him, sorry man, but you’re driving me straight back to the hospital.

I’m lucky to still have total use of my right middle finger.

That's why you keep a second mode trained that instead makes you jump away from the uncontrolled blade.

Once, many years ago, I dropped a knife and caught it, fortunately by the handle. I felt very stupid for the obvious reason, but my cat was by my feet at the time--so I'm not even sure it was the wrong thing to do. Well, crisis averted, one way or another...

Or the business end of a blender. Or a big-ass chisel.

Not hypotheticals, either of those, and not me.

I have a chisel scar on my hand that I call my "get down and move the damn ladder" reminder scar.
