Just how dumb are these courts?

Remember the case with the Muppet and the table saw?

The court of appeal *agreed* it was all the saw makers fault!

ISTR the majority of table saw injuries are caused by kick back. Saw Stop does nothing to alleviate this. The fitting of a riving knife goes a long way to stopping kick back Paul Mc Cann

I was astonished by the info on the woodworking website that American circular saws are not fitted with riving knives.

That's partly true - but in many cases kickback leading to hand blade contact, and it would help with that. Note also that the sawstop machine also has a proper riving knife unlike many US saws.
