Yeah. I was jes a tad bit skeptical. I had faith in it stopping
before taking off a finger, but not before it did jes a bit 'o damage.
Maybe at least break the skin and expose a couple of capillaries to
air, like a scratch. Amazing, to be sure, but not enough to pay a
couple thousand extra fer a table saw. I'll just practice good shop
safety and save the money for another tool ...or five!

The problem with practicing good shop safety is that you do not know
everything that could happen and therefore cannot possibly prevent every
type of injury. You certainly have the right to choose how safe you want to
be and how far to take precautions but "thinking that you will always
practice good shop safety" will keep you out of harms way is your first step
to becoming injured.
