An assembly robot at a Volkswagon plant grabs a worker and crushes them against a metal plate. Skynet???

I've worked extensively with FANUC, ABB, and Nachi robots in various applications. The worker either had the safety relay bypassed or was killed by a co-worker. I once heard a story about someone locking someone in a robot cell and starting the robot, the worker's belt buckle flagged a proximity switch and the robot crushed him. The robot in question was used to sit truck cabs in place in an assembly plant. This happened in the US and I heard about it from someone that does contract work there.
