Nobody loses a finger to a power tool by accident.

Everybody learns how to drive and passes a driver's license. So I guess road accidents have all but disappeared now, right?

Because as we all know, training makes people perfect and totally eliminates risks.

Calling collisions in traffic "accidents" is just a euphemism. Nearly all of them are completely preventable and were caused by incompetence, negligence, or deliberate belligerence.

Anything of that ilk truly being an accident is a tiny minority of all incidents. Things like a tree falling on your car while you're driving along, or an undetectable defect in a component causing your wheel to fall off.

Nearly 100% of traffic accidents are driver error. 100% of power tool accidents are user error. If you haven't realized that car accidents are the fault of drivers, I do not want to be on the road when you are driving.

I'm not sure why you are so avidly white knighting someone I wasn't even insulting. People screw up, it can be hard to talk about when the cost of a mistake is so high. She's brave for doing so. This is the last I have to say about it.
