Yes, I am the Gestapo. As stated, have seen this movie many times before. The ending is no good.

If you want to jump off a cliff and expect that you are going to have a different result than the last person who jumped off the cliff feel free to do so.

Setting up any machine with a very predictable failure mode is a bad idea. Only in your imagination is the non-working gear combination never touched. Someone risks imminent harm I am going to speak. Also, as originally posted, this very bad mechanical practice was being commended to one and all. Damage and injury to multiple unsuspecting parties was and is possible. If speaking up in such a circumstance is a horrible breach of internet etiquette you may all go directly to Hell. Mechanical advice given was sufficiently egregious and ridiculous an alert mod should have stopped it, deleted it instantly. Not everything that occurs in social media can or should be instantly controlled. Passing out instructions for how to go hurt yourself simply should not appear. This does seem to be a place where instructions for causing harm get distributed all the time and people get upset if it is ever called out. Screw you all.
