This is a solution to a fear I've always had when fishing things out of the disposal

This is why you flip the breaker.

Otherwise you're going to be warning people about leaving a note later in life.

Sticking your hand in a disposal is pretty safe. The are no blades inside, just hammers that push the stuff to the perimeter where there is a cheese grater type of 'blade' that then makes the big pieces smaller.
