I would not have thought this was possible

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

According to the Flight Safety Briefing I attended when I was still
working for the Canadian Armed Forces, this is indeed real; military jets
are not like civilian jets...

Are you mixing up two vids?

One shows a tech's cranial being sucked off his head into the intake.

The other (far more improbable one) shows a man being sucked of the ground
into the intake accompanied followed by a large flash and cloud of smoke.
Like some sort of stage illusion. A few hours later he's shown posing for
the camera with his arm in a sling and a simple bandage around his head.

Perhaps the Flight Safety people were just trying to make you sit up and
take notice of safety.

A jet connected to an aircraft carriers catapult is at full power; that is
a LOT of air being moved. Anyone that moves into that airflow within a
foot or less of the lip of the intake is going into that intake.

And if you've ever seen a military jet that's ingested a bird on take-off
you'll know that the "stage illusion" is nothing of the sort; that flash
and cloud of smoke is *exactly* what happens, along with emergency vehicle
sirens, a hefty price tag, and a bunch of guys in uniform performing a FOD
walk down the runway once the sirens wind down. What makes you think that
a helmet and set of ear-defenders would cause less damage?
