It's also crazy noisy.
It's been addressed already but here is a teachable moment for safety. Clamp the work securely using at least two clamps always. Anything less is just wrong.

For the noise, it's a good chance to promote hearing protection. We not only require hearing protection, but a brief warning to others in the room "chop saw".

We have both vertical and horizontal band saws, and a chop saw. Each has its place and value. For the vertical band saw, make certain the speed can be adjusted for cutting metal, and note that it can't cut every length like the other saws can.
