But I was expecting research from you! We need to find the frequency with which "garbage disposal/hand" accidents happen per year. My guess is lack of frequency (billions of disposal uses per year, less than one accident per year) creates a low risk situation for both are situations, even though the impact is really, really high :) Great post.
