Wouldn't it switch off with no one holding it? Seems like there's been plenty of instances when someone's arm, or hand, has been cut off and their lightsaber just turns off.

it has a security system, it detects the pressure of a hand holding it, and if it doesn't detect that pressure anymore it turns off. That's why you need lots of training to do stuff like throwing it and make it come back while turned on like darth vader did
