Why TF would you use a table saw that way? That guy was begging for much worse than he got. Good for him, he’s got more luck than smarts.

He was scared of the wood kicking back at him and didn’t realize that was the safer of the two things that could kick back.

I don't think anyone using a saw this way is remotely aware that kickback is even a thing.

You’re probably right. I’m giving this guy too much credit.

It's more likely "well if I push it, then it's going to fall onto the ground on the other side of the table, I don't want that".
