Basically the same ideas for safety, but those PTOs tend to have way more horsepower behind them. I don't care how cold you might be, loose clothing is bad.

My cousin got his arm ripped off by a tractor PTO when he was a kid. Some quick thinking by his dad got him a tourniquet and his detached arm on ice in a cooler, drove him to the hospital and they were able to reattach it. He doesn't quite have full function with it but you'd never know. This would have been around 1990 so pretty impressive medically.
