Just tried it (but not with any appendages!).

It appears the controller senses when the window is fully rolled up or down
by change in current draw.  When the window reaches the top or bottom of
travel the motor tries to draw a significantly higher amount of current and
then shuts down.

I threw a folded over towel in the path of the window and it stops as it
begins to compress the towel.  I doubt it put enough force on there to break
any bones, but again... didn't try that one :-)

Certainly better than a time based controller.. where if your fingers were in
the way the motor would go full tilt until it felt like stopping....
