I've found myself running around keeping kids from touching props at our
local aviation events. I ended up putting signs on all the props. A simple
"Please do not touch propellors" seems to be pretty effective. And in the
cases where that didn't work, a simple, matter-of-fact explanation of the
possible consequences always did the trick. It actually resulted in some of
the kids warning others.

OSH. I read him the
