Glad to hear you will be OK .When building our house I needed a small shim for under the front door.
Since I couldn't find what I needed I decided to rip a piece of Plywood (of course no safety items on saw
To make a long story short I still have the scars both 1/2" to 3/4" long on my left hand where piece of plywood went in web part of hand between thumb and index finger and came out between index and middle finger. I couldn't pull the piece out myself , all alone but thankfully Wifes grandfather drove up the road ,I stopped him and after 5 min or so He pulled the 12" to 15" piece out
I NOW ALWAYS STAND TO SIDE OF PIECE BEING RIPPED OR CUT. and try never to remove the safety items to prevent a Kick Back
