Mine is similar to that, except the handle goes the other way.
I don't like the designs that put the hand in front of the
notch pushing the board, because I think they can rotate
around the front and lift the notch. I think the hand needs
to be behind and above the notch so the line of force goes
thru the notch into the board.

Over 60 years of using that/similar design on a table saw and that has
never been an issue.

Different strokes ... folks should use what is comfortable for them.
