To close a breaker, stand to the side and turn your head. Use the hand that allows the greatest distance from the panel. For 480 V breakers, we recommend PPE be worn, especially eye and face protection.

One of the area ECs had his arm all bandaged up. Main Breaker did a rapid disassembly when he reset it. Residential, so don't think it can't or won't happen.

Rapid disassembly.

I’m stealing that term
