Gets real expensive and real difficult real fast.

You can't beat stupid. Make something idiotproof and they just come up
with a better idiot, and another dozen lawyers.

This has been gone over before and you're still spreading
disinformation.

From SawStop's FAQ:

6. Will cutting green or “wet” wood activate the SawStop safety
system?
SawStop saws cut most wet wood without a problem. However, if the wood
is very green or wet (for example, wet enough to spray a mist when
cutting), or if the wood is both wet and pressure treated, then the
wood may be sufficiently conductive to trigger the brake. Accordingly,
the best practice is to dry wet or green wood before cutting by
standing it inside and apart from other wood for about one day. You
can also cut wet pressure treated wood and other conductive material
by placing the saw in bypass mode to deactivate the safety system.

That really doesn't sound too expensive or difficult. Well, other
than that someone would be doing their tablesaw a nasty turn by
cutting wood that was wet enough to spray. If someone is used to
cutting wood that's that wet with their tablesaw, maybe they should
invest in a beater saw and not ruin the good one.

Waiting a day (or ten) for wood to dry doesn't seem like a lot to ask,
especially when nearly every one on this newsgroup has concurred that
you let green wood dry in a stickered pile for a year per inch of
thickness. Peter Follansbee might disagree, but he doesn't use any
power tools at all so his opinion doesn't count.
