I remember when it came out years ago. I thought it would be a godsend for every school woodshop (do they even have shop anymore?). I had a teacher in shop that took two tries to take his entire thumb. It was like the "Mr. Butterfingers" scene from UHF. They did an OK job putting it back on the first time. On the second one, there was no hope. Several kids got nicked on the table saw too. All fingers retained, but stitches were involved.

I'd love to see the saw implemented more. I don't know if it would ever work on a job site, but in general production, saving one finger will save 10's of thousands in comp payments for the company. Our rate goes up even if someone stubs their toe because they're clumsy. I can't imagine what losing a finger does to your rates.

In theater school our teacher always warned us against wearing rings near the table saws, since if the ring gets caught it'll deglove the finger :stonk:
