I doubt most people use a pusher stick to cut plywood sheets.

Now we have to define "close"...LOL

Would I be correct in assuming you were pushing the wood into the blade with
your bare hands rather than using a push jig or Gripper or something
similar?

As is done when, say, you are pushing a bit of wood into the saw and
it jerks out of place and you essentially "fall" forward now that the
wood is no longer offering resistance?

I've read that about five times and have tried to visualize what you're
talking
about, but I'm still puzzled.

Of course, the blade never stop turning at all on the saw I was using,
but I did manage to put three finges and a thumb in its path before
realizing I was cutting skin and bone - and jerked back.

Only cut clean through one digit and got it sewed and screwed back
on.
