Thanks for sharing that. Not going to lie, I have done this and did not consider the implications. I've never had kickback with a tracksaw ( riving knife I guess), but I'll certainly be avoiding that habit henceforth.
I confusingly used TS as an abbreviation to tablesaw in that post, but now realise it could just as easily be tracksaw, will edit.

I used to work with a guy everyone called fingers. He is a very experienced chippy and got his nickname when he realised the hard way that holding down the track by placing a hand behind the saw is a very silly thing to do.
