Well written. I don't know why responsibility is so scary.
I've never used a table saw but I rock climb regularly which has plenty of risk. Are table saw accidents purely due to your own actions? Or is it like a motorbike where there are factors out of your control and someone could crash into you.
If losing your fingers on a table saw is 100% due to your own actions and there are no externalities, I would call that negligence not accident.

Sure! I'm withyou!
People who buy table saws with a failsafe mechanism should not be fined for not using the failsafe or disabling it.
...selling the table saw without that mechanism should be, however, banned - just like cars without seatbelts or airbags aren't legal to sell in New Hampshire (or any other US state).
