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.

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?
