    Default Safety is an optional extra

    If you want guards for the machines then it is an extra.

    The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.

    Default Safety is in the mind of the beholder

    Good link Bob,wonder how they would get on importing into OZ with our Australian Standards in place!

    Solid looking gear no doubt but closer introspection would require some additional thought given to marketing here.

    They'd want to have some money in the bank for lawsuits.
    There was a company here in Perth that got a $10k fine from worksafe when a farmer lost a couple of fingers in a machine they'd manufactured.
    The machine was something for grain handling on a farm and worksafe said the company was at fault because the lack of guards on the machine allowed the farmer to get his hands in it.

    I would be really surprised if they did. That was an effect that occurred because of the frame speed of the old movies and the latency of the human eye.
