My personal solution is to stay far away from table saws and other dangerous power bench tools. It has gotten me through 70 years with all digits intact.
In 2006, I attended a resume-writing seminar. One of my fellow students was a guy who had taken a guitar-building course and shredded his left-hand pinkie on some bench tool or other. He had to teach himself to play guitar lefty. No thank you.

The factory I've been working in for the last year and a half had a horrendous safety record when I got here (I work on a contract and was warned before I arrived). The place runs these massive extrusion machines that turn 3 inch diameter pipe into 1 inch diameter pipe with very thin walls.
Somewhere along the way (before I got here) somebody in management had decided to disable the safety guards. That had caused about 9 people to get sucked into the machines and lose various arms, hands, and fingers.
After a month or so, one of those young ladies was assigned to work with me while she convalesced.
One day while walking down the hall with her I had her stop and get the phone number for OSHA off the poster outside the lunchroom.
A few weeks later OSHA raided the place. It was expensive.
Haven't had another kid maimed since.
Probably the most good this job has contributed to anyone.
