Texas Woman Loses Hand After Walking Into Plane Propeller

These types of accidents tend to happen when people become comfortable around their equipment.

A healthy fear of anything that can kill you will tend to keep you alive a bit longer. I know that I find myself being a bit too cavalier around power equipment at times and need to take a break from it.

Perhaps not fear but respect. I try and explain to the wife about having a healthy level of respect for weather, machinery etc. She can't understand how you can respect an inanimate object.

I just bang my head against a brick wall sometimes.

I remember seeing video of Vic Morrow getting hit by rotor blades, very hard to watch. Won't need to watch any videos on the web.

I remember seeing that... all I can say is it at least it was instant.

and that mentality is whats wrong w/ the country these days. there is no sense of accountability for ones own actions. the pilot didn't force her into it, and one could reasonably expect someone to stay clear of the planes engine/prop.

its her fault plain and simple and trying to blame anyone else is ludicrous.

That would be like saying that someone familiar with firearms hands someone a loaded pistol with no training is not responsible for what could happen.

You need to respect that brick wall, it is very unforgiving.

Be careful making a light-hearted statement like that. Someone might get (*) and make a statement like this:

Nice piece of humanity there! So anytime someone gets hurt they must all deserve it huh?
