I can see the need if someone is physically restricted in some manner. I don't understand the fear of the stylus sitting in the run out groove for awhile. That's what I meant. This is a device I would not consider as "needed".

on some old records, I have head the stylus scating to the paper label.
I was in the next room and thought my system has self-destracted.
Gotta say that was one of the worst sound that came out of my speakers!
I have a coupla/few records that do the same thing. Terrifying!
I've also left the house for the weekend with a record spinning in the lead out groove (must of been one of those days) and came home to find the stylus digging a trench in the record. The Q Up will be money well spent for me!
That looks painful. :x

I've never had it happen in 46 years of playing records. Just lucky, I guess.

Original Cartridge Database I noticed a repeated issue with some stylus assemblies. There were a lot of photos that I collected where the stylus was deflected out towards the beginning of the LP.This is not evidence by any standard but just a theory that happens to fit the facts. The only thing I could figure out that was happening to all these stylii where they would end up deflected out towards the beginning of the LP is that someone did in fact leave these stylii sitting in the lead out groove for extended periods of time.
That would end up putting some pressure on the stylus suspension and potentially end up with all those stylii deflected that way.
It was the only thing I could figure that explained the large number of stylii photos I was looking at with the problem.
If anyone else can some up with a theory that fits the evidence I'll bite.

Can't say. I've never left a record in the run out groove for an extended period of time. I suspect 5 minutes has been the longest. That's why I see no need for the device. If I did, I would simply get an automatic table.
