If millions of these saw brakes are sold, how many will malfunction over that time and how many people will start exercising less caution using their saws as a result of their new safety device?

You can still get hurt with a flying workpiece. Would the money be better spent giving mandatory safety classes than buying an expensive to buy and expensive to replace safety device. Will expensive to buy and replace safety devices be required for all dangerous shop tools? Which additional shop tools will be excluded?

On the other hand, there are just some days every once in a while when you don't quite have your wits about you and you really shouldn't be using your saw.
