Walking between prop blades
I flew as a passenger on an ATR on a (young and obscure) commercial airline within the EU between 2 airports each with over 1m pax per years
At both the departure and arrival airports, while the ATR was chocked, I saw ground staff walking between the blades of the propellors as a shortcut to the baggage door, immediately before unchocking and immediately after chocking
This strikes me as a rather bad idea if one values one's physical health, but I tend to be rather cautious when it comes to anything involving electrics or moving parts.
Is walking between prop blades something that just happens at airports to which a blind eye is usually turned ?
