Overheard a safety guy say something about hand signals that stuck with me

Guy at the union hall in Milwaukee said most guys wave their hands like they're swatting flies, not giving real signals. Now I make sure my hand stops dead at each position before moving to the next. Anyone else notice how sloppy signals get when the crew is tired?

Is it possible the sharp stops are actually slowing you down more than helping?

Sharp stops totally wreck your momentum and make you work TWICE as hard to get back up to speed. You're better off rolling through everything smooth and keeping that flow going.
