One time I brought a watermelon to a picnic so that I could show off my fancy butterfly knife and I ended up cutting myself so badly that I had to wrap my hand in duct tape to stop the bleeding while someone else distracted the children. Worth it.
Something similar happened to me the first ... And last ... Time I used a mandoline.
I don't see how anyone could look at this device and be like, "yeah, that seems safe."
No one does. Pros will tell you to wear the special gloves and use the hand guards when working a mandoline or a meat slicer or the like.
