It's the handle you've gotta watch the weights are a long way up, well over my 5'8" but the handle will take my ear out badly if I'm not careful, the biggest risk is leaving the Ram up when doing a tool change, if it starts to fall under it's own weight which it will, it moves absolutely silently and that handle has all the force of a 20 pound hammer as well, so I use a bungee cord to loop around the handle and hold it back to the wall, if needed I can still pull a stroke with the bungee hooked up but it saves my ear and fingers when setting up so it is a valuable safety feature.
Once setup and when using it it is good practice to always have one hand on the handle, which is a very effective way of retaining your fingers and retain them in a functioning condition.
