Saw that article this month (Fine Woodworking) on SawStop. With thousands of amputations a year occuring with tablesaw accidents, any bets on how long it takes for this to be a standard feature? It seems to me that it will get hard for manufacturers to avoid it, if for no other reason than to head off lawsuits from people who claim that the manufactures had the option to manufacture a safer saw. And if it works and is reasonable priced, it is probably a good thing to have as standard equipment... like seatbelts, airbags, etc.
