Wood splinters (or toothpicks) can cause severe injury or death if swallowed. There are many weapons made of sharpened wood (arrows, spears) that can also kill someone. Even wood pencils have been used as makeshift knives (shivs) in prison.

And, of course, a falling tree limb or tree trunk can cause fatal injuries. In storms with high winds, both wood and metal debris are traveling at high speeds and can cause severe injury or death.
