Emergency stop: pull to start push to stop. What happens when you stop stopping?
When you push it in, it kind of snaps into that position. You don't have to hold the button down.
And the better designed e-stop buttons require the button a 1/4 to 1/2 turn CCW to release
Is there a reason the twist-to-release is better than pull-to-release?
It more or less provides an extra cushion to prevent restart, as a coat; harness/lanyard; or anything else can't inadvertently release it if it gets caught. The button may get detached but won't allow the system to run. It also just requires a tad more thought and intention to release it.
There are also ones that need a key to release.
