dropping the blade is sufficient. There is really no need to stop the blade.
Afterall, we are talking about a system that works within 50 MICRO (millionths) seconds, not 1 millisecond

the bit I've highlighted in bold italic is as I understand it is the basis of Steve Glass's patent.

It looks to me that where your saw stops suddenly, the teeth are misshaped and probably very blunt -- which would explain why the saw stops cutting as though it has hit a wall.
