MOTION-RESTRICTING WEARABLE SAFETY DEVICE

Examples are disclosed that relate to a wearable device configured to physically prevent a user from interacting with an identified hazard. One disclosed example provides a wearable device including a motion-restricting system configured to restrict movement of a skeletal joint when activated, a logic subsystem, and memory storing instructions executable by the logic subsystem to receive sensor data from one or more sensors, based at least on the sensor data received, determine whether the wearable device is likely to be in an unsafe state, and when the wearable device is determined likely to be in the unsafe state, send a control signal to the motion-restricting system to activate the motion-restricting system.
