Check out SawStop, "The World's Safest Table Saw." The blade stops and drops below the table as soon as it detects contact with your body. You'd wind up with a nasty cut, but you'd still have all your digits.
It's not cheap and the $70 safety mechanism is single-use, but how much are your fingers worth? From a guy who recently had a router "incident" that involved more than 50 stitches and 2 hours of surgery, safety seems like a real good thing lately.
My brother-in-law was kind enough to ask (in mocking fashion, of course) if the same technology was available for routers.
