Indeed.

I can remember somepone making a plastic injection moulding machine
"idiot proof" by putting an interlock switch on the door so that the
machine could only be activated by closing the door and pressing a
separate button.

Did it stop people getting their hands caught in the machine? No because
the idiots discovered that if you jammed the activation button
permanently on with a match, the machine could be operated much faster
by just sliding the door back and forwards.

That's how an employee in a take away managed to cook his hands.
