Yeah, the lawsuit was the floor installer's insurance company suing Ryobi for not having a Sawstop type technology in its saw. But the thing is the guy doing the cut was breaking about every safety rule in the book when he got injured (no guard, no splitter, trying to freehand a cut on a table saw
, etc.) so it was a pretty stupid lawsuit.
At the same time, this guy was probably trained to work like that and everyone he worked with probably didn't use proper safety equipment either. If users aren't willing to take safety seriously then manufacturers will probably have to start forcing it on them.
