Glad to hear it wasn't too serious. I don't know anyone who hasn't managed to accidentally cut themselves, unless they just never use a cutting tool. All it takes is a split instant of inattention or carelessness, and nobody can be on 100% of the time. BTDT, more times than I care to recall. Saws are definitely safer than an hatchet or an axe, but...
From a project I am working on: "If it can cut, it can cut you"
