not only hands and fingers..
long hair is extremely dangerous around any moving equipment.
and so is any jewelry of any kind........and not just for getting caught in
things..
but for electrical shorting out, like a wedding ring and battery cables etc.

I hate to think about the person maybe leaning in to get a closer look at a
spinning part on a lathe and long hair getting caught.
as this case shows....stuff like that can just kill ya...
or change your whole life in a second. There is just 'zero margin' when it
comes to body parts and moving or  electrically energized equipment.
