Is this correct for the updated blade guard on a radial arm saw?

What makes them more dangerous than a sliding Mitre saw in this orientation? Obviously tilting it until the blade is parallel to the workbench is terrible but like this I've never understood how they're any more dangerous.
The direction the blade spins means it can jump towards you if it binds. Like any tool, it's safe when you use it right, but a moment of inattention could be messy. Mainly I find the ripping set up terrifying.
Agreed on the ripping setup .
