Might want to start here and go thru the following pages about
that thing you don't want to experience.

Actually, the second page illustrated the answer to my question... that I
didn't ask. A splitter is just a straight piece of metal, while a riving
knife moves up and down with the blade, following its contour.

Well worth a read, even if you've read it before.
