when I was in my teens I used this rig to sharpen posts for both us and the neighbors.
Dad always told me to be sure i wore safety glasses. 50 years ago the only ones we had were Dad's old tanker glasses left over from WW2. They were pretty beat up and scuffed, and I hated those things, but I wore them. I was sharpening cedar posts one day using the smaller buzz saw, when it ripped out a splinter about 8 inches long and dead centered my right eye end ways. The splinter broke against the glasses, and the broken end also hit them. Nobody had to remind me to wear those glasses after that.

I didn't actually get hurt, just bad scared.
