i took the fleshy part of my middle finger off in a jointer a few years back.

It grew back luckily but I still have a bit of anxiety of using big machines now. I also keep the glove I was wearing in my tool bag at all times to remind me to slow down and work safe. I got lucky

The saw stop is a cool invention, costs a heap of money every time the machine is triggered but is well worth it if you still have your digits
