Joe, I agree that a bandsaw can be just as dangerous but kickback is not the same as a blade snapping. I'm sure we've all experienced or heard about someone else's experience of a piece of wood being hurled across the shop at a terrifying speed or worse yet, right back at US if we happen to be standing in the wrong place. A bandsaw simply cannot do this as the cut is down into the table. This was the premise for my comment.
