Had a look at the blade(s) after the fact, and found out where the significant cascading sound comes from when the brake activates. 12 separate tungsten carbide teeth ripped loose of the blade. Most presumably are due to the spacer blades not being in direct contact with the aluminium brake, so were able to move when the blade was (rapidly) decelerating, and knocked the teeth off as they slid past.
It is a good effort, stopping that much spinning steel on a dime!

As a result of some of the demonstrations that occurred at the Melbourne Wood Show, I now have some new wall decorations for the shed.
SawStop Blade and Brake
This was a carbide-tipped blade that (deliberately) contacted a surrogate finger (a sausage) during a cut. It caused the brake to fire, driving the aluminium block hard into the blade, bringing it to a stop in phenomenally short amount of time. As you can see, a lot of the energy from the blade is dissipated in significant distortion in the brake.
