Bruh, please please please use a push stick/paddle. If that jointer snagged for any reason, your hand would be obliterated faster than you could blink.
Kick back on the jointer or snagging your sleeve would have cost you dearly. After 20 years of using a tablesaw with no major incidents, I did something stupid that I had gotten away with a hundred times before. This time it cost me damage to a thumb and 3 fingers, none of which have feeling in the ends anymore. Use the safety equipment and always maintain a healthy respect/fear for power tools. The damage they will do to you lasts for the rest of your life. Otherwise, enjoy your craft and keep up the good work.
Beautiful!
Thank you for watching!

That is nuts to not use a block to push wood through a jointer. I'm shocked that you do this.
