Agreed! shudder Those robotic arms are capable of acceleration
rates of zero-to-dead-flopping-meat in under a second. You wouldn't
catch me riding one.

My "real Job" was programming and maintaining a cell of four GMF robots for
three years. Once I got sloppy and held the hand pendant Estop override
while reaching in the cell. My arm went over the photo eye which told the
robot to come get parts. I got caught like a mouse in a trap. We wrote it up
as a robot malfunction cause I would have been in serious trouble for
intentionally overriding a safety.
