So much to learn from this video:
1) guarding to PREVENT exposure to hazardous energy,
2) NO LOOSE clothes around power transmission devices (even well-guarded devices) to PROTECT workers,
3) E-Stop to MITIGATE the consequences when #1 and 2 fail!
4) Torque is a force to be reckoned with! The speed of the hazardous energy can be SLOW, but once it has you, it just becomes a slow-death process.
As it played out here, luck is NOT part of any safety process!
