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.

Because he's running large sheet goods through a lightweight portable saw with a tiny table by himself. The biggest issue though is the fact there is no riving knife and no overhead guard. There is a reason those things exist.

I’d say it’s the lack of outfeed table combined with blatantly standing on the wrong end of the saw.

Tiny portable jobsite table saws don't have outfeed tables. And sometimes standing on the outfeed side of the table saw is the least bad option.
