PeterK said:I urge all of you to read the wikipedia link that AdamM posted. This was an elderly lady who was very seriously injured and only asked for medical bill payment of $20,000. The pictures of the damage done to her upper legs was astounding. Very poorly handled by McDonalds at the time. So many make fun of the McDonald's coffee incident but know nothing about it.

I think it is great technology as well and would like to see it (or some other technology) on saws as well. With respect to your surprise, I suggest the following considerations. The little man had a choice of which saw and technology to purchase. The little man had a choice to use or not to use the guard and splitter. The little man chose to purchase a saw which was most likely based on a little price. The little man got injured because of his own actions and choices. Perhaps that is why many are falling on the side of the company in lieu of the "little man".justinmcf said:wow!

ryobi had their chance to embrace this technology, but they and others turned their backs on it because of profit margins.
i agree that the inventor went about it the wrong way. i believe he tried to push this technology down other manufacturers throats.
