Lightbulb Re: Safer Saws

This kind of cool concept just came to me:
Ground the blade of the saw. Have the student grounded. If there is continuity with the student and the blade, shut down the motor immediately. That can be a lifesaver for someone who falls asleep while cutting something.

Sorry for the caps, below:
THE MOST IMPORTANT:
AS MENTIONED BEFORE, MAKE SURE EVERY STUDENT IS TAUGHT SAFETY COMPLETELY.

In our school, we are required to take safety tests, which makes me think, maybe that is what I should do, if I become team captain, before I will allow someone to use the tools!
