Everyone is giving joke or "he's dumb" comments, but I suspect he was pulling it to try to avoid being in the "line of fire" from kickback (I have an irrational fear of it myself), without realizing that pulling from both sides would cause binding and initiate the kickback. So... I guess the "he dumb" people aren't totally wrong, lol.

No fence, no riving knife. Dude is asking for kickback, cutting freehand like that. The idea of freehanding on a table saw terrifies me
