That's not totally safe. I'd use a different technique.

I wouldn't trust it to be repeatable either. If that 2x4 is not tight to
the table, the work piece can slide under and your cut will be off ever so
slightly.

It does not appear that the image is taken during the sawing action,
looks like just the tightening of the clamp.
Seriously? What do you think happens next?
I don't have a real concern with the set-up other than, as said before,
repeatability or even consistency during the cut. Agree that it looks
like the leading edge might be inclined to "dive" under the stop block.
Reversing the bevel, with the leading edge up high, might offer a more
consistent approach...
Not sure, let's watch the video together and find out...

Here you go, let me know when you want to watch it.... ;-)

It is never safe to trap a workpiece under the blade. This particular
cut, if the front-edge of the workpiece lifts just slightly, the back
side of the blade will lift and throw it. Angled cuts should always
be made where the blade can't trap the workpiece.

The irony here is that it's a left-tilt saw, where you're supposed to
place the workpiece on the fence side and the cutoff on the free side.
