He's pulling the blade onto a piece that he's holding steady with his hands. Perhaps I should have said 10 reasons why it's unsafe.

I did notice that. He seems to be checking the hit location first,
then pulling it into place. People here probably use a similar
technique using a miter saw. I always check to see where the blade
will hit and where my hand is before I hit the switch. So far, I can
still count to ten.
