Sawstop wood chippers maybe? Imagine buying a whole new chipper though because the saw stop triggered and demolished all the saws.

Something like that.

It would have to be something that could retrofit current chippers. A module that cuts all power to the engine like a normal Estop, and engages a brake to the feeding part of the chipper to minimize any damage. The "barrier" that kills the engine wouldnt be right at the feeder. Maybe 8 or so inches out. And if your bracelet passes this zone (have it clearly painted on the inside so you know where it is), it engages this system.
For newer, high end machines, you could have something like a sawstop where it would kill the power and spring open the feeder to release anything from the inside.

Im sure something like this exists out there.
