I'm surprised that no one hear has realized the solution. The expanded foam
tablesaw blade. Easily fitable to any saw and would render it totally safe.
What an idea. I could make millions.

Which is why they originally wanted to require all saw manufacturers
to license their technology, right? I'm not saying you can't buy a
SawStop if you want, it's fine with me if you have that kind of money
to throw around and want to feel safer, I just worry that feeling
safer makes people less careful and less prone to practice safe
techniques.

You should be relying on yourself, not on your tools, to keep yourself
from being injured.

You do have a good point. If seatbelts and airbags were removed from cars,
people would pay more attention to driving and the accident rate would
plummet. For the few that do die, that is just "thinning the herd".

Think of the money to be saved by ditching head restraints, ABS, and
collapsible steering columns. A section of 1" pip can to the same think,
lots cheaper. People have just become to complacent.
