Js3 jet catastrophic failure.
Good idea. For a lot of things that rotate, especially large or fast, never good idea to "stand in the plane of rotation" about 90* to shaft axis when things are spinning. This goes for lathes, lawnmowers, prop planes, turbines/jets, etc. When things come loose or fly off, they go out in direction of plane of rotation. and winch engine water pump mounted fans I consider this idea - generically avoiding the plane of rotation of rotating 'stuff' whenever reasonably possible - an aspect of ground-based "situational awareness." There's a reason clutch scatter shields were developed for cars, rotating machinery, etc. Sure the risk is generally low, and I sure don't lose any sleep from fear of 'rotating stuff,' but why provide Murphy additional opportunity?
