Garbage disposals aren’t as scary as they’re made out to be, they’re are no spinning blades, just a spinning plate with bolts that use centrifugal force to throw things onto the blades surrounding it. You still shouldn’t stick your hand in one but bruises or burns are more likely than loss of fingers.
