That moment you were glad the "E stop" existed

Serious question with a fun angle as we wrap up the year. Has your E stop ever saved you from a mistake you realized a split second too late?

That moment when your brain says nope at the exact same time your hand slams the button is something most of us have experienced at least once. If you have a story you can laugh about now, what happened and how close was it?
 
Late night shop session after a long day and I caught a mistake just in time. Hand hit E stop before I even thought about it. That button earned its keep right there. Moments like that make you appreciate simple safety features a lot more.
