I've had kickback several times. Each time, it was cockpit error - a gap between the piece and the table, without a sled or something supporting it farther back.

When I cut pieces out that will leave a gap, I used double sided tape to put them back to provide support for the remaining cuts.

I cut with the cut offs not touching the table and have no problem. Only when the main pieces isn't supported do I have a problem.

Consider log sleds, for example. Whether I'm using one to make boards or one to cut disks, in both situations, the log is supported on the sled, but the cut off drops.

CLEAR CUT OFFS too! I've had a blade grab one and toss it several feet when it was pushed into the front of the blade, as I was cutting knots and things off a limb or something.
