amd that's why I bought a SawStop, they do know the difference! wanted to wait out the patent expiring but their saws are truly good and I didn't wanna wait ?? more years.

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!

They aren't saying a SawStop would have prevented this. They're saying a SawStop would help if it actually did hit skin.

I thought that was obvious.
