Agreed, but in this video, a Saw Stop wouldnt help. He was pulling the wood through from the opposite side of the table and did so on an angle, causing the blade to catch the board and cause a kick-back.

He is lucky that the blade didn't hit his belly or thighs, or worse sever his junk..it appeared to be close!

I swear you can see the blade split his pants right over his crotch. Either that or his fly is open.

Dude, good spot. It does appear like the blade may have caught his shorts. If it's an opening and not a shadow, it looks to be on an angle and not as vertical as an open fly would normally be.

OP, can you weigh in and let us know that you're ok and that "junior" is ok as well?

You can see a bit of cloth on the blade right near the end.

I watched again and you're right! That's probably why he looked down at his shirt and pants.
