Dunno for sure. I don't have a Sawstop.
I have seen only one "after event". A Sawstop cartridge that was very rigidly welded onto a 300mm saw blade. Both had very extensive heat marks and a strange smell - explosive residue or ozone or burnt lubricant or burnt dust on the cartridge or ... ????
So I rang my acquaintance and he said: "You can hear the explosion when it triggers; its really loud."

When Saw Stop first came out, I had a conversation with a Saw Stop MARKETING Representative (Emphasis "MARKETING".) at a Woodworking Show or AWFS. I was examining a used brake and the saw blade. It was an expensive saw blade, Forrest brand. I commented that it was about $70 for the brake and $100+ for the blade or about $200 in total but cheaper than an ER co-pay.
The MARKETING Representative kind of laughed and said that the techs at Saw Stop had been able to remove the blade from the brake. Thinking about that. . . . A bent tooth? How good is the brazing? I don't think that I would want to re-use the blade.

i've set my brake off twice.
one blade looked salvageable, the other had at least one loose tooth. both still went in the bin, just not worth the risk of a piece of carbide to come flinging off at you at a few 1000 RPM's
while it is annoying blades and brakes are cheap compared to loosing or damaging a finger. Also remember that you can send you brake back to saw stop and they will send out (at least one) free brake. they use the telemetry data from it to make sure things are working as they should.

Were either of your deployments because you touched the blade? If so then the technology has indeed possibly saved you a finger, if not then all it has proved to be is a PITA, and an expensive one at that. I for one am not looking to make my tablesaw blades any more of a consumable than they already are.

Every time I see a YT video with the user reaching over the top of a running blade I shudder.
