Question for you Spidey fans.

So looking at some recent statues and watching the movies again a question comes to mind. So Spidey shoots his webs by pressing his middle two fingers into the palm of his hands. What's to keep the webs from shooting whenever he makes a fist or grabs a flagpole or any other hand actions which put pressure on the palms?

This has been explained in the comics. Supposedly there is a failsafe mechanism which prevents accidental firing of the webshooters. This is why it takes both his middle fingers to fire the webs. There are two buttons, both of which have to be pressed in order to fire the shooters. I believe they are also inset so that lying the hand flat or just making a fist will not depress the switches.
