Heavy machinery (in production) is designed that you cannot just walk into them and will stop, if you do. It is a bit different approach from software engeneering.

Folks who have grown up on the internet have likely seen plenty of video evidence to the contrary.
Well, I probably have to add, that my point of view comes from old school german engeneering (through my dad). His approach to building something vs. mine as a software dev are quite different ..
And the accidents that I know of, are where the security mechanism have been tampered with. A proper designed and certified german machine is hard to get injured by if followed protocol (and the reasons are past accidents and suing the manufactor).
