Can confirm, I've tripped a sawstop twice. Both times were because of the material, not flesh.
Not to say it isn't good technology, just that - anecdotally - it's more often a $150 mistake than a finger saving feature.
What was the material? Wet wood or staples/nails?
I believe you can temporarily turn off the feature if you’re cutting questionable material.
