Big Heavy steel wheel with hardened blades. No way to stop it suddenly even if there were safeties. At least it was quick.
The hogs in the mill I worked in had a metal detector a couple of feet in front of the grinders. Part of a gum wrapper would stop them dead.

Actually, they do have a system for table saws that senses ‘meat’, due to its lower electrical resistance and stops the blade in well under a second.
It may work for these cases, but then again, how often does a gardener run afoul of the Clintons?
