Are you saying you've possibly saved multiple fingers or serious injuries then?

In these cases no. It was stupidity of a different kind on my part, but never where I was in danger. For example I added a flexible ruler to one of my jigs without thinking about the fact that it was metal. The ruler (which I happened to be touching at the other end) touched the blade, so in essence the saw thought I was touching the blade.
Prior to owning the SawStop though I have had some close calls that would have been much less painful and dangerous had I been using a SawStop.
