Some people WANT to believe this even though they need only look at a jet
engine for 2 seconds to know it's fake..


Are you suggesting that the referred video was a fake - I think it
isn't - or that one can't at all be sucked into a jet engine? If the
latter, you might be wrong. I seem to remember a Continental mechanic
ending up inside one of their 737 turbines a few years ago (in
Texas?). And didn't a sucked luggage container at LAX delay a JAL 747
the other day? That container didn't go through the blades of course
but the human skeleton is less resistant to whirring fan blades.

No I think you can maim yourself if you're in the intake draft cone of
a turbine.
