Hi
A common result of kickbacks is that a saw operator will reflexively push down on a workpiece that starts to lift off the table (No, I can't quote my source, but OHSA will back me up.). My FIL worked with a very experienced carpenter who did this and rip cut his hand between his 3rd and 4th fingers.
SawStop won't eliminate kickbacks, but it should stop the blade if you push your meaty hand into it.
