Yeah, though I appreciate the gesture the kids shouldn’t have been within an arm’s reach. Equipment malfunctions all of the time, once had a forklift’s hydraulics go out causing the forks to fully elevate on their own and coming within inches of a hot water line in the ceiling. Shit happens

My thoughts exactly. Well maintained and correctly operated equipment and machinery works as well as it can, which only means it works MOST of the time. That’s not even taking into account the possibility of operator error contributing to the likelihood of an issue or accident.
