I can never see too many of these; it's so impressive.

Yesss! 
I’m saving for a SawStop now, because guitar players need their fingers!

Excuse the language in this video, here’s a clip of an instructor from a Palomar class a few years back. 

The cartridge didn’t go off when a student hit the blade with a metal clamp on a crosscut sled, so the faculty decided to manually set it off with a hot dog just do be double sure it was working properly.

Apparently something conductive can hit the blade and not set it off if it doesn’t have enough mass (not enough of a change in the voltage to trigger the stop). But as the video shows our hotdogs and fingers should be safe!

The difference may be that the student was not touching the clamp anywhere. Therefore the circuit didn’t have a path to ground. 

I set my saw off once when I touched the aluminum miter gauge, but I was touching the gauge as I pushed it. 

By the way for those who don’t know, there is a way to bypass the circuit if you want to cut non-ferrous metals or wet wood...
