Re: Surely...
I used to run a hydraulic paper cutter when I worked in a print shop. 4 foot blade and it would cut through several inches of paper at once. To operate it, you had to grab two lock outs at near full arms width apart, and then depress a foot pedal to activate. It was pretty locked out but still scared the shit out of me. I got so quick with it that I was moving my hands towards the blade as it finished its cut. It was at that point that I realized how close I was coming to loosing an arm. I slowed down after that. Can't imagine someone defeating the safety mechanism, but people do...
