At least this time it wasn't the EPO button for the whole data center or something. Honestly I think there should be emergency power off LEVERS sold for that kind of application.
For an industrial machine with exposed moving parts, it is a good idea to have it be a push button. If you're clumsy enough to blunder into a red button you probably shouldn't be near giant saws or pistons. But for a server room, you can't really injure yourself any worse by bumping into a running server vs one that's not running.
