Is there a reason the twist-to-release is better than pull-to-release?

[โ€“] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

It more or less provides an extra cushion to prevent restart, as a coat; harness/lanyard; or anything else can't inadvertently release it if it gets caught. The button may get detached but won't allow the system to run. It also just requires a tad more thought and intention to release it.

There are also ones that need a key to release.
