==Mechanism== According to the manufacturer's website, the saw blade stops in less than five milliseconds, while angular momentum retracts the blade into the table. The operator suffers a minor injury instead of a serious one. The design takes advantage of the difference in conductance and capacitance between wood and flesh.
