I've never had a bad kickback, and I use the riving thing whenever possible, but I always assume that piece of wood is coming at my head if something goes wrong.
Every now and then I get comfortable with the machine and I have to slap some sense into me. It's a great tool, but it'll eff you up quick! I'm not hesitant to use it for its job - but fingers don't grow back...
