A sensor unit and a simple aluminum tag in the gloves is all that's needed.



thats a good idea,Then also add a disc brake to the rotor shaft and you pretty much go it covered, If it saves lives...dont hola about the cost to me!

You would want the sensor before the rollers, That way it would teach you not to put your hand in there
