The way I use the catches, in case anyone is wondering, is a little tricky. They are set so that they are JUST below the level of my chest when it is puffed out in a proper bench press position. You do not want the bar to actually lower onto the catches like a pin press as that alters the movement I find. So they are just below. If I fail my body relaxes and I can slide out from under the weight. Technically it is possilbe for the bar to drop onto my chest but it can't drop onto it very hard or deep.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
