thats what the sprocket guard is doing as long as the wheel is going the right way fingers shouldnt get between sprocket and chain

Fair point Glen. I hadn't thought about that way. I'd assumed the sprocket guard was there to protect the sprocket from rocks not fingers from sprockets. :dunce:

I think "dead mans switches" are a good idea although I don't have one on my bike (yet)

Regarding rear sprocket guards, my 76 OSSA MAR did not have one and I still have the scars to prove it on the fleshy part under my forearm from when I dropped the bike, slipped and fell on it. It was extremely painful and kept me off the bike for 2 weeks.
