You're unlikely to get hit by larger pieces of wood at high speed. Dust, small chunks, maybe a part of the saw may come flying at you, but i suspect they're way more likely than large wood chunks. But if you believe this photo was not staged, then safety goggles are pretty good https://external-preview.redd.it/qVMDLhaXQN8Vd9UI6d5fDswF396...
Like, if I've got a chunk of wood being hurled at my face at high speeds, I'm definitely going to prefer to be wearing safety goggles, but I can still imagine the wood coming in at an angle and knocking them away, or being hit with enough force to break the goggles.
