A good handsaw is a lot safer than a table saw for cutting sheet material.
One also has to use care using a table saw for small parts as I found out about four weeks ago. I was cutting a 2" x 3" piece of baltic birch. I made the mistake of having the small piece between the blade and the fence. Of course, the blade caught it and sent it right back at me at about 110 mph.
I took the hit just above the belt line on the right side. The resulting bruise was the size of a baseball and included at least 10 different colors, mostly indigo (and I don't bruise easily). Interestingly enough, it left me with a nice laceration and resulting scar (through my t-shirt) that my girlfriend says resembles the Ursa Minor.
