That's a dedicated man and his product. What a demonstration. It should be attached to every table saw sold.

I wonder how many dummies will get fired for testing that feature out with a hot dog and ruining that $60 stop.

If your cutting green lumber (PT) or sheet metal (don't know why you would use a table saw) there is an override switch.

You are supposed to use the band saw. It has no "Fling" Factor!

Note on the demo though, he just moved his finger slowly up to the blade edge. The result was no blood.
I don't think you guys have your fingers in that position when you cut wood do you? You'd probably still get a nick, but you'd keep a finger!
