This really happen to me 4 or 5 years ago:

I was ripping a board and the power went off. It is pitch black and the first thing I think of is getting to a flashlight hanging about a half a shop away. As I’m making my way to the flashlight the power comes back on…. So does the saw with a board still in contact with the blade. I was lucky that day. If this happens to you remember to get the power tool turned off FIRST! I learned my lesson the scary way maybe so you don’t have to.
