Of course it should only need to be reset after it is used. Having to reset what wasn't used isn't nice UI. Also, I suggest that the button safety release be shifted in the x or y plane, since doing so in the z plane runs the risk of a double-click when the page load is slow---as happened to me! Hence there is no pause between clicks and no emphasis given to the second click. Bombs, what bombs? Oops! The button doesn’t work unless it is reset.

Reasonable approach to actions where the cost of reversal ('undo') is highly out of proportion with committal. Well done.
