Tom, The SawStop table saw has a feature that if the blade hits something wet and conductive, like, say, a finger, it fires a bar into the blade stopping the blade in some insanely short period of time. The demonstration is always of running a hotdog into the spinning blade and the hotdog is barely nicked. However, it destroys the blade, and requires a new explosive cartridge after it fires. You also need to use an over-ride if you are cutting wet wood. Never-the-less, it is an insurance policy against a time when your judgment or concentration falters for a split second. -- Blue skies.
