Default when are safety features unsafe


lots of safety features get in the way and disrupt workflow and are
unsafe

my hitachi cms has a blade guard that is fine most of the time

but once in a while when i am cutting the thickest wood it can cut the
blade guard gets in the way

without the guard i make the cut and i am done

with the guard i have to grab and hold the guard which takes away
my concentration of the more important work

read an article where a test pilot died in a cirrus recently

the cirrus planes all have airframe parachutes

glass cockpit and airframe parachute are the two dominant features

but it turns out that there have still been quite a few fatalities in
the plane

and the plane has a higher rate of incidents that similar planes from
other plane makers


pretty clear that safety features actually provide a false sense of
safety where proper training and techniques take a backseat

some people should not

operate dangerous machinery
drive cars
fly airplanes
