WANT!

Unfortuneatly I have a habit of being a little distracted, even when using a table saw. When I was working on my house, I came close a couple times to at least getting a serious cut.

It can be scary. One day I was really zoning out, and got a pretty good scratch on my left hand running from between my index and next finger down past the thumb. could have lost a thumb if I was any stupider! the second  feel anything like a scratch when I'm near a saw I move the heck away from the blade ;D After I got that scratch I pretty much stopped using the saw for the day as to not risk any worse injuries.

I do however have to admit that the slow-mo of the inventor sticking his real finger in was something else.

I was wondering if I'd seen that before somewhere :P

He seemed pretty sure he wasn't going to lose his finger there, hey?

Like many features it reduces the risk of serious injuries greatly but not completely.  I am incredibly impressed that he put his own finger in there, up till then I had only seen the weenie tests, which often show a little bit of skin damage. I think he was prepared to need a band-aid.
- Would you test a GFI outlet by hopping in the bath with a toaster?
- Would you sit in a car and crash to test an airbag?
- Test a bullet proof vest?
