# Safety Warnings (No, Seriously)

Operating a scratch-built, scrap-salvaged walker isn’t like riding a rickshaw. If you mess this up, stuff explodes. Or falls on you. Or runs you straight into a trench full of [[buzz-bots]]. So read this part. Twice.

- **Don’t stand under the legs when it's powering up.** 
Ever seen a ton of steel do a twitchy little startup dance? 

- **Vent the reactor housing every three hours** 
Or your ride’s gonna get hot enough to cook your boots from the inside.

- **Never bypass the fail-safe on the gyro stabilizer.** 
I mean it. You’ll fall over like a newborn moose. On fire.

- **Power down fully before climbing on top.** 
Especially if you’re checking the solar array or clearing [[Razorbats]] from the sensor mast.

- **Don't eat inside the cab.** 
Not because it's unsafe. Just… don't. It smells like old oil and duct tape in there already. Don’t make it worse.
