Very good point. I have been to the emergency room to sew up my hand while trying to adjust the main needle. So stupid. But that was at home in the front yard with my wife home. Thank goodness my wife was there. Another one of my buddies bought a large plane at a swap meet. He was getting it ready to fly, revving the engine while holding the canopy. The canopy broke loose and the plane lunged forward and cut his inner thigh a lot...
Moral of the stories, do not adjust or run up the engine while in front of it. Such things should be done from behind the engine.
