I think that's what a lot of people associate big red buttons with. Just a thought.

I would argue that the picture is imperative to the educational intent of the article. The picture allows wikireaders to fully engage in the big red button experience. Furthermore, to assume that most people know what such a button looks like does not mean it is an unnecessary image.

Well said brother. The full Big Red Button Experience is certainly not obtained from a limited amount of prose, and is only obtained by pressing one and witnessing the havoc, or, failing that, seeing a picture of the awesome device. The bigness and redness are certainly not well-appreciated without a picture showing perspective and context, and the nature of the button itself, an over-engineered, powerful-looking device, demands an image to comprehend. I could describe Niagra Falls to you, we've all seen broad waterfalls right? This would not be as effective as seeing for yourself just what makes the falls such an iconic landmark. So too does the Big Red Button demand an image. How far has our society devolved that in 2009 we even need to have this discussion? I weep for my children and can only pray they grow up in a world where all appreciate the majesty and power of the Big Red Button. I say to you all now, with Wikipedia's eternal log's as my witness, that they will grow up to be good, button-fearing people, so help me.--Δζ (talk) 23:37, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-11-14T23:37:00.000Z","author":"\u0394\u03b6","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-\u0394\u03b6-2009-11-14T23:37:00.000Z-Oliverbeatson-2009-06-10T23:45:00.000Z","replies":["c-\u0394\u03b6-2009-11-22T09:01:00.000Z-\u0394\u03b6-2009-11-14T23:37:00.000Z"]}}-->

You know, I'm really thinking the current pic doesn't fully convey the majesty and power of the big red button. I'm thinking a background of flames and sparks, or maybe a gif with lightning coursing through the button might do better. I'll have to think about it.

This is redirected from Molly Guard, but mentions neither what a Molly guard is, nor any general accident-proofing or guarding methods (flip covers, locked switches, locked covers, power-locked switches, etc.).

If you would find it useful I could take and add a photo of an eject (ejection seat) switch from an xbox game controller (Steel Battalion) with a translucent cover to prevent accidental pressing like it is probably found in some cockpits of real planes, at least in many movies on the switches to arm rockets.

A variant of protecting switches against accitential switching them are steel braces on both sides of the switch. These protect the swtich in case of leaning or falling on them but does not slow one down when they have to be used. In cockpits these switches are usually not buttons but shiny steel swiches. I have also seen big braces next to a red emergency power off button in rooms where the button is required by law (like school experimenting rooms).

During my study time I experienced what happens if such a button is next to the door and not protected... Visitors lean against the wall and accidentially press it with their shoulder, often this happens several times a day (it was in a 30-PC cumputing room). It was a button which could be used to switch on again by pulling it out.

Another type of protected buttons in a red frame can be found in this article with many picures: German fire alarm buttons. These are usually protected by a thin glass.

In the company where I work there are red glowing buttons in green casings with translucent cover which open doors in case of emergency which should be opened with access cards under normal circumstances. I could take and post a photo too if found appropiate for this or another article.

I came across this article searching for big red buttons after a discussion of hidden buttons in translucent iframes (latest example was a twitter worm) in the "Heise Newsticker" forum.

There a BigRedButton.swf was referenced (googled to find if it's harmless) and the famous big red button which does nothing.
