disagree  Mónica Torres: Lo siento, pero yo vi ese término a la inversa, o sea si no esta apretando ese botón el operador (porque se cayo muerto sobre el teclado, digamos por ponernos melodramáticos), no anda nada, no importa que más se accione

  -> Gracias Mónica, creo que tienes razón, la explicación no fue afortunada, el botón se acciona cuando el operador lo "suelta". Pero la traducción propuesta es correcta.

botones del hombre muerto


Explanation:

Device Employed As Defensive Mechanism Against Napping Staff By Using The Tension Of Normality.

The Deadman's Button is a device installed in lomotives that must remain depressed by the engineer (usually under his/her foot) to prevent the brakes from being applied; the theory is that if the engineer had a lapse of consciousness (falling asleep, heart attack, whatever), his foot would come off the button, thus applying the brakes.
