When it happened to me I was watching as the apprentice cut part of the way through the fucking things. Not sure how it happened but with no sign of kickback he managed to collapse 2 trestles that were supporting the workpiece fall on top of the saw which he still had running thereby pushing the blade through the track, workpiece, ply that was being used as a benchtop and the tarmac underneath (the idiot hadn't set the depth of cut preferring to leave it at max and guess how deep into the cut he was). When he got up he was still holding the fucking power supply button. As soon as I worked out he hadn't killed himself I developed a severe case of instant sunburn was about to start giving him at bollocking of a lifetime when one of the other chippies managed to magic the prick out of my sight untill I calmed down.
