The technican at AMP told us that even if you were to manage to get your hand caught in it, the sensor is so sensitive that it will sense the resistence and immediately withdraw the step back down.

Now that's innovative! Thanks for the info. I'm sure my wife will appreciate the safety feature as we have a two year old running around.
