Safety protections can certainly be annoying and definitely go overboard at times. What has not been pointed to is that we are all human. We can be distracted by something, in too much of a hurry, not well, under the influence of recreational drugs or alcohol, affected by prescription drugs or the wrong combination of prescription drugs, over tired, functioning in poor light, had a fight with the spouse, trip or lose balance, or who knows what, or a combination of things that can make us vulnerable to harm. Further not everyone has had the benefit of training from their fathers and many are new to dealing with tractors or whatever.
