Well, I'll have to do something about that...
In matters like these, I base a lot of what I feel on 12 years of experience as a Trauma and Cardiac Medic where I attended to all sorts of accidents and results from stupidity. Not all of what I believe, but it is a factor. I've taken in traumatic amputations, and all sorts of deep cuts. Most seemed to have been from circular saws if I remember correctly. The nastyist were from chain saws. Most of the circular saw accidents I saw were (again - working from recall here), contractors who got too casual in the use of their tools, were cut in associating with some form of falling or losing balance with the tool in hand, or believe it or not - from too much beer in the cooler. You typically didn't see the later on a real job site, but it was common enough when the pro was doing some weekend work with the buddies.
An injury a day would nothing short of surprise me. Shock me even. Perhaps astound me. Ok, so I'm easily moved. Nonetheless, you must live in a pretty large metro area I would guess, in order to see that type of injury level. Maybe not - just struck me as a high number.
FWIW, my thoughts on the sawstop concept are kind of mixed. I certainly do not care for the forced approach they are taking, though the Capitalist in me can admire it to a degree. The rebel in me is in conflict with that when I realize it could affect me personally. I'm not really against the design concept, though I've been around long enough to be wary or big promises, demos, etc. I am certainly in the "wait and see what it really proves to be" mode right now. I'd hope they could come up with an alternative design that is less destructive. I'm really not a big fan of how brutal this thing is in it's approach. I can see a lot of damage to some pretty good table saws coming from this type of approach. Maybe not. Time will tell. A lot of good designs didn't start out as elegant as they evolved to be, and that could well be the case with this product. I'm interested in seeing what release 2.7 or 3.14.2.79 brings. The only other real objection I have right now is that it *seems* (admittedly, I have only taken a couple of token looks at this thing) that they are heavily leveraging the fears of woodworkers and gouging pretty good on the prices. As much as I believe in safety, and in profit, there is no need to take the consumer to the cleaners. Again - time and production may help that problem.
