Well I have had FO's who have got their finger stuck in the yoke. There is a hole where the PTT goes in but has a blank on the other side which had come out.

I have had some ones leg get trapped under the rudder pedal. That was a bit of a sod to sort out.

lost count of the number of time I have read reports of feet slipping on pedals.

In fact if you listed out all the things which we take as "just part of the job" that wouldn't happen if our hands were strapped to the controls. We all might end up clamping our hands to the yoke.
