Safety margins exist for a reason in Engineering. Lots of times you can just work dangerously and nothing is going to happen; the people pushing for using machines operating at the edge of the breaking point are seen as "aggressive", "daring" and "true leaders". But from time to time, things DO break and that's why these safety measures exist to begin with. They exist for dealing with the unknown, with the things that can't be directly measured like random imperfections or variations in the operating conditions. I hope that the company, and its owners/executives, that got away for so long with operating unsafe machinery are exemplarily punished.
