Just curious why you have That opinion? (honest question) To me that sounds like a device much like a reverse lockout on a transmission or a lockout/tagout bar. It seems pretty straightforward.
Well, if made correctly, it's possible. But since it isn't a standard piece of equipment, it almost sounds like something a good idea fairy came up with. If it's some kind of sheet metal tab to prevent the selector lever from rolling past semi, I could see that interfering with going on safe. If it's made to interfere with the trigger itself, then you've got crap in there it was never designed to have.
