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. No doubt. People make mistakes all the time, its a life lesson. And the dimensions are NOT hard to gauge. Look at the distance from the prop nut in the center to THE GROUND. It sure as hell isnt any longer than that!!! So if that distance is 8 feet, a min distance of 16 feet away gives you atleast an 8 foot buffer! It just befuddles me that the first thing just about EVERYONE who exits a plane like that looks for as they are walking through the door is WHERE IS THE DAMN PROP! Then where do I want to walk, and head far, far away from the prop! Its like being at the zoo, would you feel sorry for some moron that looses an hand becasue they put their hands next to the bars of the tiger cage??? Fuck no. Smart people would stay the fuck away! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lauren-scruggs-walks-into-spinning-aircraft-prop/261777)._
