Bandsaws are relatively well behaved compared to table saws, jointers,

course but I've never had a bandsaw violently pick up a piece of wood
and fling it the way some of the other tools will.

I have been banged up by my drill press as bad as anything when things
work their way out of the vice and start spinning around.

Nasty!

I have a fairly large cross slide vice securely clamped to the table
of my drill press just to prevent that sort of thing. I had a few
close calls prior however. The cross slide vice also creates a big
improvement in functionality, allowing the drill press to be used as
an ersatz milling machine for small work.
