Here is an interesting article about a lawsuit in which Sawstop came in for the plaintiff, and now seems ready to force their device into every saw by participating in lawsuits against companies that have refused to buy and incorperate their device into the product. I'm not so comfortable about that.

I'm all for safty, but people still need to act responsible around equipment of this type and take responsibility for their actions when things don't go right. My accident happened mainly because I #1 removed the safety guard to notch a board, and #2 I didn't use a pushstick. It was all my fault, so how can I sue the manufacturer?
