Trivia
- Dead Man's Switch will also block Generators being repaired by multiple Survivors as long as any one of them decides to stop repairing during the activation window.
- A "Dead Man's Switch" is a common safety feature found on heavy machinery, which will shut it off in case of the operator depressing the switch for too long due to incapacitation.
