Well HK has pulled a SFKK. (Almost) This one has a happy ending. More info HERE!

Well its good thing this tower was a newer version with tension sensors for the computer E-stopped itself. Otherwise it really would have been bad.

Yeah, as you mentioned this newer drop tower has its own e-stop system. The SFKD one didn't and thats what caused the injuries. It ptobably couldn't have hapenned to this one, but it would still scare the crap out of you.

I'm glad the operator was actually paying attention. I'm also glad it did e-stop in time and saved those people from any harm. It is also amazing that the other card were still operating the rest of the day and the whole tower wasn't shut down.
