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, where a switch must be held continuously in order for a machine to keep operating.
