disc would not be visible from the back. A 172 with the high wing
makes stumbling into the prop while exiting the plane fairly easy. At
least easier than a low wing.

Say What???

You climb out of a 172 and the door is between you and the whirly thing.
Close the door and the wing strut is between you and the whirly thing. You
are talking about the "Cessna 172," right? You couldn't "stumble into the
prop while exiting" even if you were totally s###-faced, and three times
over the legal limit.

This guy is another for the Darwin awards, fancy walking into a propeller



I went out for my 2nd or 3rd flying lesson and was waiting in the FBO
for my CFI to show up. A 172 arrived and taxied to the fuel pumps, I
stepped out to watch. The aircraft (two occupants) came to a stop with
the engine running. The pilot got out, ducked under the strut and
walked into the back of the prop. It cut him into 4 distinctly seperate
pieces.

I'm cautious around propellors, but I "hot load" passengers as a normal
part of my day.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
