The people in favor of remotes always say they are safe that the accidents are caused by human error because the RCO did not malfunction. The truth is there are some things that are inherently unsafe about them. If you are riding on the end of a long cut of cars especially with air in the cars hang on tight because if yours or the other belt pack loses radio contact the locomotive will go in emergency, that is what it is designed to do. We had the incedent happen where I work and it snapped a knuckle and kicked the operator out on the lead. Lucky him nothing else was on the lead. Even with repeaters installed in the yard loss of radio contact is still routine. I watched a guy try to take slake to pull a pin on one car, the locomotive kicked that car five car lengths.
