A deadman brake is activated by the operator's physical presence or input, typically through a lever or pedal that must be continuously engaged. If the operator releases the lever or pedal, the brake is automatically applied, stopping the equipment to prevent accidents. This safety feature ensures that machinery cannot operate without the constant attention of the operator, reducing the risk of runaway equipment. Deadman brakes are commonly used in trains, industrial machinery, and certain vehicles.
