Could it be a shock to the person and a recovery time for the shock?
I was working on a band saw in my schools ag shop last week, everything was going fine, the saw was working, I wasn't cutting my fingers off, no one else was around to get in the way or cause accidents. All of the sudden I hear a horrendous bang, I jump back, the saw blade has stopped moving, I froze. I think because of shock because everything was working fine, the saw blade wasn't binding at all. I just stood there looking at the band saw as it continued to run. The saw blade had broken and the internal wheels continued to spin. From the classroom area I vaguely heard someone yell, "Turn it off." It took me about 2 to 3 seconds to register the order and then I carried it out. I wasn’t afraid just socked that it had happened or in other words not expecting it to happen.
Just another thing you can add to the box.
