Yup - me too! I was going to disconnect the side stand switch but then I recalled the saying "most failures are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the seat." I guess that is why manufacturers put the side stand switch in.
But I've been thinking, hand protectors should also be standard equipment. I've never had this happen to me before, but wow, what a lesson for me - it is extremely dangerous getting one's five little fingers caught between a lever and a grip. I'm sure a finger could be very easily snapped in that vise. And it happens in a fraction of a second.
