The whole show is spoof and the laughter isn't canned, it's the live

Bareback, YEAH! That was fun.

But greed, not altruism, is what drives the SS guy. Nobody who's an
altruist spends eons patenting every single possible angle.

--snip--
Convinced of the invention’s commercial potential, Gass and four
fellow patent attorneys from his law firm set out to patent-protect
the technology—the most difficult, labor intensive and mission
critical part of the endeavor. Without their combined legal expertise
and do-it-yourself entrepreneurial spirit it’s doubtful SawStop would
have ever reached the marketplace. “Very early on we did the
equivalent of a million dollars worth of patent work,” says Gass,
referring to himself and quartet of co-founders. “If we had to go out
and hire someone, it would have been hugely and prohibitively
expensive,” he concludes.

The funny part of the video was Gass trying to say he actually gives a

Bob Adler of consumer products safety commission was pretty freaking

Well - that really wouldn't work too well Jack. Deaths in NASCAR are seldom
related to helmet protection, and in real life, would be about on par. The
