You can very easily move several feet in one second. If the proximity

Are you really making those types of rapid movements around your TS?

Not intentionaly.

Well that's the point--you aren't intentionally sticking your finger in the
blade either. The protective systems are there for when something that you
did _not_ intend happens.

Several feet in a sec? Are you practicing your TaeKwondo or are you
ripping a board? When do you ever move several feet per sec at the
TS? Around most TS accidents a gradual "push" into the blade?

The more likely cause of someone contacting the blade would be a slip
or kickback. This stuff happens fast, to fast for a one second delay
to be of any use. In the case of brain fade, it might do some good.
