From flat out to a dead stop in a quarter of a second? Oh, come
off it! All modern power tools have a dead man's switch safety

As I posted earlier, a hedge trimmer is unlikely to more than make
a mess of your leg, and one of the reasons is that it will stop
faster than a chainsaw (and in comparable time to a reciprocating
saw). But almost all of them still run for long enough to be going
when they impact your leg.

RTFM
