I cut myself from time to time. One was bad enough that I almost went to the emergency room. Typically because I was careless.
What I don't understand is some folks fear of using a mandolin/V-Slicer. These machines all come with a food holder specifically designed to keep your fingers away from the blade(s). I have never cut myself on my V-Slicer cutting veggies. Just use the food holder!
I use the food holder for the appropriate foods, e.g., slicing cabbage is what I consider inappropriate for the food holder. Even with food that is appropriate, it gets to a nub that can only be safely sliced while wearing a glove, e.g., carrots.
