Jonathan,

Tesla coils deal with dangerous high voltages that can be instantly lethal. 
Automatic 
controls of any sort should never be trusted. The only safety is to pull the 
plug. The principle is the same as that for gun safety: You, your habits of 
safe operation that you
closely observe are your best protection when playing with dangerous toys 
that are not
tolerant of carelessness.

Happy day,
