"proper fashion etiquette" is crap. I stopped reading after that.

Circular saws cause more injuries each year than any other type of power tool.

CRAP

The cold fact is snowblowers cause more injuries than any other type of power tool. Remarkable, since they're only used during the winter!

I find this one hard 2 believe
Empirical/anecdotal, but not at all surprising to me (though I didn't consider a snowblower to be a power tool in the context of the question). The big driver of injuries is that the chute gets plugged up so the snowblower stops. Since it appears stopped, people stick their hand into the chute to clear it - and as soon as it's clear, it roars back to life and mauls fingers.

Ask me how I know this.

Kinda the same thing happens with lawnmowers, but lawnmowers don't jam nearly as easily as snowblowers, and likewise are only used seasonally in most places. Plus newer mowers have warnings and safety switches designed to prevent stupidity.

Whereas when people are using circular saws and the like, they're mentally thinking "holy crap this thing will f@#k me up if I don't pay attention!"

Forget about the shade, most people are just happy to find a matching pair!
