It's something that has bothered me since I realised

Or if they don't have onboard sensors designed to do that then why not do that

Because someone who is unconscious or unable to move isn't going to be able to call for help

Okay, so the Enterprise installs 1000 transporters, enough power systems to run them all continuously, goes to the Thomas Riker planet, waits for a freak weather storm, duplicates the entire crew, puts all the duplicates in transporters, holds them there as backups.... And then all of the transporter clones die as soon as there's a battle and an EPS relay blows.

That's not how the Federation does things. They're the good guys.

Just because they aren't transporter purgatory bad, doesn't make them good.

The federation has unintentionally done and continues to do real irreversible harms. They also do good intentionally. There aren't a lot of examples of experiments being set up in a risk reducing way...
