(I don't see it working with a band saw because the blade is not rigid enough and probably not strong enough to stop like that).
Actuly that is the very point I was thinking,what if at contact, a brake if you will, grabed the blade just before it came down to the table ? This would stop the saw blade from ,1 cutting fingers off and 2 coming out and flying around?
As far as mandating safety all I got to say on that is,you can say don't do that so many times, before you get to say I told you so.
