…not wanting to get too deeply into it, they don’t always break away, though…I’ve had mine grabbed on multiple occasions and sometimes it has broken away and other times, it hasn’t…/…similar with colleagues, it really is quite linked to the grabbing itself also…it is a requirement for some in their work place that hasn’t had huge thought of input, but then I don’t personally know of any serious incidents either…quite often things have to happen before they are addressed…/…in terms of health and safety…
…anyway, in this case… a loose scarf and a moving belt are a complete red flag….
