Um, almost the same applies to hands and arms.
- cyphar 9y agoI don't know about you, but my body's sense of proprioception[1] doesn't extend to lanyards or other things attached to my clothing. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception
- dovdovdov 9y agoYeah, but getting your arm ripped off by some machinery is also rarely deliberate.
- cyphar 9y agoBut you're likely to notice if your arm is near a piece of machinery -- which was my point. Lanyards and ties? Not so much (in fact, that's one reason why neck-wear such as ties are banned from many such sites -- because of the risk).
- Teever 9y agoI think the fact that you're arguing this shows that you've never worked around heavy machinery.
- rebuilder 9y agoWhat is your point here - that we should cut our arms off to be safe near heavy machinery?
