These kinds of "experiments" have always been interesting to those testing EMC. We do tend to test in air or in sim rather than with a live machine out there.
I've often thought of the "man overboard" key on a boat as making an ideal estop. Connect the cord to one of the body parts that is likely to jerk back first when the unexpected happens and you get a quick estop.
