Having never seen one in person, I underestimated the amount of distraction it can be when in motion.

In search of the perfect hundred-dollar servo motor with needle positioner.

I bet that hurt...

in 20 years I've only been bitten really good once.  It was with one of my little machines that I use allot.   What got me? The new "silent" ISM servo I had installed on it.  I went to flip the thread out from under the feet with my finger and right then it decided to put the needle down.  (had been fiddling with the positioner and didn't have it secured.

Drove the needle right through my finger, clean through the bone and out the bottom.  I was running 138 thread so I did have a heavy needle in it-But I'm surprised it didn't break/shatter.
