That is a pretty good idea. As far as the costs go, of course it is expensive right now, they are not mass produced. As soon as a major table saw company started to make one the cost of parts would be cut down immediately. I would think if mass produced you could get the cost of fixing it below $100, and the cost of adding it to a saw below $500, which I would think is worth it.
As far as the guy not testing it on himself, I am not suprised. It still cut the hot dog, just not nearly as bad as it would have without the shutoff. I wouldn't cut my finger just to show that it wouldn't cut it off. (At least not without a lot of alcohol and a dare involved
)

Now how am I gonna cut up my hot dogs? In real life, what will happen is after a few trips @ $150 a whack, the owner will disable the system. The only significant injury in recent years where I work was caused by operator stupidity, enabled because the safety switches on the doors to an automatic machine were disabled (and still are!).

we run powermatics in our shop. the saw stop is pretty comparably priced. I just recieved an email from a industry freind that his lead flooring installer just lost 3 fingers when a piece of knotty aussy cypress exploded..
We are seriously considering ordering one, if we do, I'll post all about it

Then his technique was bad--his hands shouldn't have been that close to the blade. I always make my cuts on a tablesaw with the thought that if the piece suddenly disappeared while I was pushing, where my hands would end up. I also try to stand so that I can't physically reach the blade (when possible), and I try to brace my hands against a fixed portion of the saw (fence, miterslot, etc.).
Another part of using a tablesaw is being able to judge the wood you're using--foreign objects, knots, warping, cupping, case-hardening or other improper drying.
