That would be nice.
Write a manual that enables you to test the aileron or other
control surface without first checking that another technician
is standing under it, or starting a jet engine with another
technician in front of it. There is nothing inherently dangerous
in operating the machine; it is the environment that is dangerous.
If the manual is autogenerated, GIGO.

Even more fundamentally, the real problem here is the necessity of
the warning in the first place. Most properly designed systems
(munitions may be an exception) should not be able to kill people.
There should be nothing in my toaster, computer, or microwave oven
that can injure me short of dropping it on my head from a high
building. This should be true regardless of what the manual says.
