My worst day on a job site was when a $200 Dewalt circ saw kicked back and nearly took my thumb off.
It was 3 years ago in a basement in Nashville, I was framing a wall and hit a knot in some pressure-treated lumber, and the saw jumped so bad I still can't bend that finger all the way - anyone else had a close call they think about every time they grab a saw?

Sounds like you got complacent and weren't paying attention to the cut, knots in PT lumber aren't exactly rare.

Yeah, I learned that one the hard way too!

Nah, knots are sneaky little things. They look solid until you put a load on them and then snap. Always test your cuts now before trusting the wood.
