[QUOTE="qdg2, post: 5485363, member: 100309"] Walking in front of a running engine is perfectly fine. As long as you aren't too close. Depending on power setting. But I disagree that most people know what an engine like that is capable of. Especially, say a no interview hire...peak. I found someone without an earbud(s) was the exception at work. Mgt. on down. Most folks walking around the building had one or two cell phones in their hands with their head looking down(often watching videos)...not ahead of their walk path. Autonomous vehicles(which have the right-of -way) everywhere, trains etc. Lot's of folks simply ignored the yard rules. Mgt. didn't enforce them. Not hard to imagine that happening in this tragedy. Folks get used to just about anything......especially loud environments and routine. Add in distraction...... My friend-150 is so quiet and smooth....my Kawasaki street bike too...that you forget they are running.....hitting the starter for example. Playing loud music(buds) with ear muffs can drown out a lot of noise. [/QUOTE]
