Dead man's switch
A dead man's switch is a switch that is automatically operated if the human operator becomes incapacitated, such as through death, loss of consciousness or being physically removed from control. Originally applied to switches on a vehicle or machine, it has since come to be used to describe other intangible uses like in computer software.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Dead man's switch
