I think it's easy enough to acclimate to the activity. If you are doing something "normal" like driving 75mph on the highway and make a small mistake, like wrenching the steering wheel to the left , you could easily die or kill someone else. But we hand out licenses like they are candy. Woodworkers using a table saw all day are one small mistake away from permanent maiming , and most don't even bother to spend the extra few hundred dollars to mitigate that risk by upgrading to a SawStop. Most people, I think, are good at telling themselves they are better/smarter/more skilled than the people who get hurt.
