I had just tied my Bo down at Muscle Shoals one afternoon as a Lear taxied past. Who wouldn't turn their head and look? Took a step as I turned my head to walk off and caught the end of the Q-tip prop right between the eyes. Bulldozed a piece of skin the size of a silver dollar across my forehead. Blood was on my shoes before I could walk around the plane to get a couple shop towels. MSL had kind of a strange FBO. Located in the airline (such that it is) building, to get to the restroom you exit the FBO into the terminal building. Looking like a disaster victim, I would have really caused a scene if it was post 9/11. While the beatings occurred during training, the concept of the running engine and swinging prop guided me to never step even near the arc reach of a prop, it is always spinning.... We all could use an extra step or two of exercise, never ever think of walking thru where that prop can get you. It will save you a ding on the melon as well. This coming from a guy with the diamond shaped injury from a certain old Cessna flap... Bob Weber webairconsulting.com
