3 of my internet-lifetimes/startups ago, we had this happen when one of the L2
techs was doing their 'rounds' - but had a backpack on. They swung around and
hit the safety cover on the BRS - which got knocked off. They freaked
out a bit while putting the cover back on... and managed to activate it.
Dead silence followed: "Whoa! What wasn't that?!"
(A good story anyway. It wasnt clear from video exactly what happened. More
entertaining in review when sped up and backed with Yakety Sax.)
Hilarity ensued. Customers irated. Procedures were modified. SLAs were paid.
Nicknames were coined.
Could also be that it was a bit too red and shiny:
