Yes - exactly. I'm well familiar with the product. I talked with the company founder for almost an hour at the IWF show here in Atlanta (maybe 6 years ago?) where it was introduced. If your hand or fingers were to touch the blade during/after a kickback, (as almost occurred in the video) I'm sure the SawStop mechanism would trip and minimal damage would occur. That doesn't stop the board flying towards your body/head though.
