Power tools are dangerous and the best way to prevent injuries is with well practiced safety standards of operation. Once you start putting a device like the saw stop on things, there is a chance that there will be a lax attitude about safety practices that would formally exist without them. There's always a cost vs. safety mechanism debate with all machines and if a device works well and doesn't totally destroy the price point of a machine, then it's a good invention or idea. With blade guards, push sticks, feather boards and good safety practices, the amount of accidents with power tools is actually surprisingly low.

The older I get, the further I stay away from my blades with power saws.
