I should probably mention at this point that this is actually a trick done with special effects. Maybe I'll put together a video that shows how it was done. Don't worry, my finger was never in any danger. 8)

[rookiemcm77]

Stupid question... you not know that you can Actually stop the blade without editting by just flipping the power switch?

I can do that trick, although a little differently. What I do is I press my finger on the button that says 'off' and somehow that stops it spinning.

Gee youtube is full of some serious drama queens. Even if it wasn't special effects (which it was) touching the side of a circular saw blade isn't particularly dangerous.

The saw blade is given an electronic signal that sensors monitor constantly. If the signal on the blade drops below a certain range, a spring-loaded aluminum block is released into the blade which stops the blade in approximately 1/200th of a second. This probably has a different kind of breaking system but, none the less, no theatricals involved.
