Mount collision!

Eeek!
Woke to find my mount in this position this morning! After a good run of 90 frames of Helix the mount was instructed to park.

Ths scope was pressed hard against the mount leg on the focus switch of the Esprit. I parked everything and reset the Asiair and mount. All appears well slewing and parking. Focus moves in and out ok.

Questions
Does the Eq6-R have a fail safe, and should I be checking the belts or anything else?

The mount would have been in this position for a few hours. Interestingly SkySafari reported the position of the mount at the SCP.
