People loose fingers, eyes, limbs and lives constantly due to things like this, ‘common’ sense is not as common as one might think. Look at how many boards have threads about people losing fingers cleaning a motorcycle chain. Dimensions of the spinning prop are hard to gauge, and it can be almost invisible depending on the angle. A momentary distraction is all it takes.
