in the 1970's i operated a bunch of packaging equipment & oerformed much of the maintenance for one of new jersey's largest companies
when i left, after almost 10 years, i was the only one with a full set of 10 fingers. i got snagged a few times, but, never more than an interesting scar on each hand.
being older now (no one ever accused me of being wiser) i no longer suggest that anyone bypass a safety device.
when on the way to the hospital with a finger in a cup, almost no one says "i am still glad we bypassed that sensor", i don't care what they say
