I own and frequently use the shop smith my grandfather gave me. The lathe is by far the most dangerous setup.

My friend cut his fingers off with a tablesaw. The doc reattached them all crooked so he can grip stuff. We hunt together and when he points at something he forgets their all jacked up. I can never tell wtf he's pointing at.

Toe kick saw. A dumb little bitch of a saw with a small rotary blade, no guard, and not enough torque to keep it from binding and jumping. I had one jump out of the floor and damned near lost a finger to it. It cut across the inside middle of my bird finger and got it down to the bone. I still have a numb area on my finger.
I gave it to a hardwood flooring crew after my injury. It was a brand new saw. They brought it back 3 days later and said it was the most dangerous saw they had ever tried to use.
Edit - bow saws are also up there in terms of pure danger.

Chainsaws really aren’t bad if you know what you are doing. It’s the trees that will get you not the saw.
Kickback on table saws scare me the most.

I take it most of you baws haven't used a radial arm saw. Those of us who have and are posting her are using only one or two fingers to type

radial arm saw.
You beat me to it. I sold those things years back at Sears and I always had a bad feeling when it was obvious the customer had limited or no experience working with power tools. Sometimes I felt the sale wasn't worth the horrible result that I expected to hear about in the next week or so.

The undisputed king is the ladder.
I can attest to this. Hanging Christmas lights several years ago and set the front legs of the step ladder on some mulch which seemed like it was frozen. When I got to the top of the ladder and my full weight on it, didn't take long to push through a thin layer of frost. Lost my balance and I landed on my head on the concrete sidewalk. Blood started seeping through my stocking hat and probably should have gone to the emergency room for stitches and possible concussion. Had a giant knot on my head and couldn't comb the top of my head for about a month it hurt so bad. The dried blood in my hair was crusted over and hurt like hell trying to remove it. Never told the Mrs.

Old big routers are terrifying.

Table saws are always sketchy.
I have an old coffin wood plane from about 1870. A wedge holds the blade in. It falls out of the bottom if you don’t use it properly. Big hunk of heavy GOOD steel falls to the ground. Better have good shoes on. It would take a Katana sword maker to get it as sharp as it can be. I can’t do it.

Radial Arm Saw was the most dangerous which is why they quit making them.
I would place my bet for grinders to cause the most Dr. Visits, and only because of getting foreign objects in your eye from them.

Table saw with a dull blade can send a half sheet of plywood across the room with enough energy to kill a guy.

chain saw is #1
This thing (which I have one of) is sneaky- it WILL close full pressure if you hit the trigger. And God help you if your finger gets caught, because it will lop it off clean.

I'd say it's the perfect Christmas gift for every Mafia goon
edit= watching that video, I cringed. That guy was waving his hand around the blades a LOT, with the battery in place. And he even states "once the blade comes down, there's no stopping it"
