Terrifying. The cold unfeeling death by an industrial tool is sadly an ever recurring story in labor history. This to me says that testing for the software and systems environment of these sorts of this thing needs to ironclad. testing and safety are sadly undervalued because they aren’t “profit generating”.

The thing should be turned off whenever a flesh body is within reach. No software solution is going to be truly safe.

Best practices is having robotic arms inside cages to prevent people from physically being able to access a machine's circle of blood. Auto turnoff systems are still fundamentally software and aren't as reliable as physical lockout

They use lasers attached to a kill relay to create a virtual cage. You can do it only with electronics, no software

Yeah I've worked around a lot of heavy machinery and I'll trust the fence thanks.
