English term or phrase: fall over the patient

Bear in mind when balancing/adjusting the instrument arms that the instruments shall under no circumstances fall over the patient.

doch nicht über ihn fallen:)?
Bei der Ausbalancierung würden die Instrumente eher hängen/schwenken gefährlich nah an der Nase.
Gibt es einen eleganten Standart-Ausdruck?

Explanation:

"...dass die Arme nicht über dem (Kopf des) Patienten verlaufen"

würde ich hier verstehen. Außer die Konsole wäre nicht fest im Boden verankert und könnte auf den Patienten stürzen/kippen, wenn der Hebelweg der Instrumentenarme zu lang wird!?

nicht zu nahe an den Patienten geraten oder...

Explanation:
...diesen womöglich berühren.

Ich sehe bildlich vor mir eine Aufhängung mit zahnärztlichen Geräten, die sich mir gefährlich nähern während ich auf meinem Stuhl hänge und mich nicht wehren kann ;-)

Ich glaube auch, dass "umkippen" oder "fallen auf" hier nicht passen.
