I have never been cut by a table saw. If I could use the

my hands much closer to the blade on that than anything else.


But it looks like the key point here is that the blade withdraws.


No, it does not withdraw, it stops the blade instantaneously
(almost). It is like a super fast brake. It has been a while since
I saw the article, but IIRC the device has to be replaced once it
has been activated. That may have changed.
