You do realize that this has probably been done thousands of times with

I'm not sure that would work. The weenie or hot dog would generate nothing
for the saw to sense and thus the saw wouldn't activate.
However, something like the sword swinging rig on Mythbusters with a hot
dog at the end and transmitting the appropriate input would be interesting.
How fast can the rig swing the hot dog before the saw either does
appreciable damage or fails to activate?

What makes you think that was a SawStop in that shot? It is more likely

For you to continually deflect questions and come back with totally
off-the-wall scenarios is reason to suspect you of being a secret
liberal. You really want our government to take over and force all of
us to buy SawStops, don't you? <sigh>

Ones finger does not have to be wet. There is a chance you will get a
scratch as witnessed by the hot dog and the hundreds of times it has
saved an operator from a bad accident. The SawStop has been around long
enough that you would have heard of a problem by now if there had been one.

In addition, how fast was he moving his finger into the blade? Or the
frank? I still consider this technology worthwhile for my next saw, but
I'd like to know how much damage to the frank if it moves at the speed I
would use for 1/2" pine.

I think only you would expect the SawStop to protect youself from

There's a video out there that shows that very thing. I don't care
enough to look it up, though. :-)
When I saw that original show on Discovery Channel, I contacted SawStop
and asked if they had a video showing a hot dog moving into the blade at
the speed of a hand slipping into the blade. They directed me to
something, somewhere that showed it at that speed, and it definitely
nicked the skin and drew some blood.
Consider the alternative.
Wow, we keep reviving this horse, killing it again, and beating it some
more. :-)

I'm not a fan of the Sawstop, but even if the blade did cut someone's finger,
I believe the saw would then quickly shut down. It could make the difference
between a bad cut and losing a finger.

Did you even see how it works? The aluminum block surrounds the teeth as
it stops them. If a tooth broke from this, the aluminum block would be
the catcher's mitt.
However, if you're thinking the simple deceleration of the blade is
enough to somehow throw teeth off the blade, you need some physics
lessons. :-)

Au contraire, mon ami. If it's so safe, as he repeatedly says it is,
it won't harm him in the slightest. Would YOU jam your hand into the
spinning blade of a SawStop? I'm requesting real-world testing, not
this inch-a-pinky crap. NOBODY working on a saw moves that slowly.

A local wood working supply store had a demo of this a couple of weeks
ago. I wan't interested enough to drive across town to wee it.
But the lady who invited me said the were going to "break some blades".
Stopping a blade revolving at 3600 RPM - in less that 1 tooth probably
does break some blades.
And throw saw teeth all over the place...
