When doing wood flooring I always make cuts without a fence.
Walls are not perfectly straight and you need to keep your cuts close to the wall.
rip your cut half way thru pull it up out of the blade then repeat the other half waste does not get caught against fence it just falls to the side. If you pay attention you wont lose any digits. Maybe he lost his finger by slamming it in a car door. :)
