    I believe that’s why a lot of machines now have locks, so the person working on it can lock the machine with a padlock and take the key with them.

    Looking around, it seems like some setups now have a lock per person doing the work, so no one can accidentally leave someone in danger.

        I was walking someone around once who basically asked “it looks like you could cut it”. I mean yeah… I guess. The point isn’t to make it literally impossible, it’s to make sure it doesn’t happen accidentally. The person driving the excavator could just decide to chase me with it to if they really wanted.
