I work in manufacturing .. with robots and various other types of computer controlled nonsense

There are rules on the safety guarding surrounding said robots, who can enter, using what key, and making sure the power is locked off first.

The only way anyone can get hurt is by bypassing the safety lockouts (which can get you fired), also in such an event, any compensation paid will be cut by 95% because it was the idiots fault in trying to get back his iPhone that he dropped on the floor and slid under the fence.

The software said of things is covered by the manufacturers warrenty that said "in the event of damage, the manufacturer is not responsible for a programming f***up"
