You raise a good point John (as usual). I work out alone, no spotter. I don't push it so far that I risk dropping 150 lbs on my throat but I do presses with free weights for a couple sets, then I switch to the cable/stacks machine for the last set or two, just to be safe.
Interestingly, this issue you raise isn't the reason for the suggestion to do weight training first followed by cardio though.
