Karlpe, I agree with a lot of what you say. The thing that bothers me the most is that they found him only 35% responsible, to me that is out right stupid. He violated Every common sense rule and written rule in the instruction book which caused his injury. People need to take responsibility for there actions. Just like someone said earlier (not mention some examples i used earlier) if i was stupid and accidentally shoot my self with a gun because my finger was on the trigger is it the gum producers fault? As you mentioned you earned the right to use a table and mostly used it responisbly this guy did not and that is where most of the blame should be accounted to. I own a saw stop because it is an overall superb saw but i still use carefully, and would never of attempted any of the things this guy did.

Come on Andrew, you seem to be in the minority by a cosiderable margin when it comes to the idiotic use of the saw by this guy. You never addressed my question about the car accident i mentioned. You just went on to talk about how much you make and hour. That original question still stand and I have a couple more. let see if you are willing to take on these next 2 questions as a high priced lawyer. I live in a state where there is no helmet law. If i was riding my motorcycle and and made a turn either to fast/severe and wiped out or slipped on some dirt that resulted in severe head trauma, can i sue the maker of the bike? or am i just an idiot for not wearing a helmet???? (hint i was an idiot)You also made a big deal out of me having a sawstop. saftey is a concern and i can afford it but it is also a great saw even outside of the safty feature. They (SS) also have a by pass keyy on the saw as well. If I was to turn that off and have an accident is sawstop still responsible for my lost fingers????? It has the technology you are harping on!!! My opinion NO I was the idiot that shut it off (ie. like removing the the fence, splitter, and other safety devices) Will you represent me in these two cases for the 350/hr, if you believve in it so much or would you pass since you most likely wouldn't get a dime. I doubt it!!! maybe you will just com up with another excuse as to why it was not my fault. Again it comes down to taking responsibility for your own idiotic decision. Like someone else mentioned it states in the instructions the risks involved and not to take off the safety devices.

Please give me a break Andrew. The whole problem with most litigations is people not taking responsibility for thier own actions. Everyone knows a table saw is dangerous!!!!!, this guy was using it like an idiot without the safety devices on it especially the fence, the word common sense comes to mind. If anyone should be to blame it is the company he worked for, they should of given him better instructions and made sure he knew how to use it properly. I grew up in Mass and have a SawStop. Common sense and responsibility for your own actions are the major flaw with this guy and sorry but he was much more than 35% responsible more like 95%. Lawyers take advantage of these situation for profit not the good of the people in a lot of circimstances, NOT all lawyers I admit there are good ones out there as well. So if I get in my Dodge truck after drinking and plow into a tree and severly injure myself or kill someone else. Is it the fault of the Dodge truck (it has inherent dangers) ??????? There is technology to prevent a car from starting if you have been drinking. No!!! Dodge is not responsible, i would be the stupid idiot responsible for what ever happened. How is this accident with the table saw any different????? I'm sorry this lawsuit verdict is rediculous, there is no way to justify it. Sorry about the spelling everyone, i am on laptop and in a hurry to go back and make changes.
