I'd have agreed with you 20 years ago. With the polycarbonate materials now available, it is not much of a concern. They use it for bullet proof windows. Ed
They are not saw proof I had the guard on a 12" PC miter saw come loose and catch on the blade and I was picking little pieces out of my skin for hours thank God I was wearing a face shield or I would have been in trouble. To be bullet proof it is much thicker and duel layered I beleave. To its credit it did take 6 teeth out of the blade I had in there too.
I don't beleave that a blade guard is designed to stop kickback just to try to keep your fingers out of the blade path. The splitter is used to keep the kickback from happening.
