I always start on the underside, in the direction I want it to fall, by making the upper/downward cut for the wedge first. Then I cut upwards on the bottom until they meet and I can remove the watermelon slice. Then, I start 6" higher on the back to make my hinge cut down on an angle. The only way your saw can get stuck that way, is if there is a lot more weight on the back side. In that instance it can still pinch the saw, so if you are uncertain, drive a wedge behind the saw, then finish the cut.
