All,

Isn't it possible that if allowed to stand, this judgement would drive
other saw manufacturers to adopt this technology? Cost would likely
be more, at first, but with wider use, the cost would necessarily get
lower over time. Wouldn't this be an improvement in safety for us
all?

Do you really think that the costs wouldn't be prohibitive? You do
understand
that SawStop has a legal monopoly on this technology for another couple of
decades.

It would be bad enough if it only effected tablesaws but, with lawyers being
what they are, it could have serious consequences.
A car gets T boned in the drivers door. The driver sues the manufacturer
because his car does not come with side impact airbags as some other cars
do. This could be extended to lots of things.
