On their website (www.sawstop.com) they have a video
that shows a hotdog being pushed into the blade and the result of the
blade stopping just nicking the surface of the hotdog, but nowhere is
it mentioned the feed rate a which this demonstration was done.

This was actually the first time I'd heard of this impressive system,
but http://www.sawstop.com/how-it-works-overview.htm says the
following about the hotdog video:

"The photo at the right shows what happens on a SawStop saw when a
hotdog (representing a finger) hits the spinning blade at a speed of
about 1 foot per second. "
