Default Skil saw kickback (kickoff)?

Sounds like that ancient high school safety film shown in most shop classes
back in the 50s, where a student sets the table saw blade way low so the
cutting force is pushing horizontally instead of high so the teeth are
pushing the work down onto the table surface. Anyway, the low blade grabs
the finished rip, an approx 2"x2" cut, and flings it across the shop where
it impails another student, the student's stomach entrails grossly wrapped
around the protruding spear. A classic in its day.
