A flip guard safety system for preventing inadvertent actuation of an aircraft switch. The flip guard safety system includes a flip guard having a cover that pivots between a guarded positions in which the cover protects the aircraft switch against inadvertent actuation and an unguarded position in which the cover provides access to the aircraft switch. A flip guard safety has a gate that pivots between a closed position in which the gate retains the cover in the guarded position and an open position in which the gate does not retain the cover in the guarded position, such that the cover is pivotable from the guarded position to the unguarded position. The gate pivots from the closed position to the open position in a first direction and the cover pivots from the guarded position to the unguarded position a second direction that is opposite of the first direction.
