"Find the Kick-Back Piece" game
I had a wee accident at work yesterday (and funnily enough, again today) ripping some curvy sticks to correct thickness on the table/panel saw. Because there were no flat surfaces to speak of, the push stick would sometimes lift and tilt the workpiece.
Whilst 22 of the sticks went through without trouble, 2 of them decided they wanted to enter low earth orbit and shot up and backwards out of the saw.
Can you find where the first one ended up?

The workpiece where it stopped.

Long shot from the panel saw...it's back there somewhere...

Last clue...the workpiece has been removed...does that help?
If no-one spots it soon, I'll highlight where it landed later in the week.Every time you make a typo, the errorists win.

Hehe...nice work Ian and Afro.
Sorry Specialist...close but no cigar
Beside the speed at which the workpiece disappeared, I was quite impressed with the elevation it got because I had to get a ladder out to retrieve it (and a broom for the second piece which ended up in the same shelf).
Scary stuff...but because no-one was hurt, it was also damn funnyEvery time you make a typo, the errorists win.

Given the large black blob hiding your comely self, it could be speared into your guts.

Heh...if that really was me hiding behind the blackness, it would be a much, much bigger blob
Although, the person it's masking has also caught a piece flying back with his shirt sleeve......amateur!!! My kick-backs were heaps "better"
We were both probably lucky that it's a sliding panel saw rather than a generic table saw. We usually stand on the "switches" side of the sliding table, almost perpendicular with the blade/workpiece, even when ripping against the fence. Otherwise we'd have been behind "the missile" and copped it in the body.
It's kind of funny...the only machine I've ever truly hurt myself on was a "relatively safe" drop saw: Das Finger Incident
