Maybe something you learned the hard way, or something you found out right before making a huge mistake.

E.g., for audiophiles: don't buy subwoofers from speaker companies, and don't buy speakers from subwoofer companies.

If you use a table saw, take it seriously.

I'd like to add: don't wear gloves, especially ones that are a little to big for your hands.

I was going to add to tablesaw too. Safety is like security: use layers. Machines have switches and their own safeties. But you know what's better? Put that behind another switch. And unplug it when you leave the room. You shouldn't be able to turn it on until you are ready to use it. Again like security, it always pays to be a little paranoid
