Always remember
From the FAA accident reports.
These type of accidents and occurences are very real, and are not as isolated as we sometimes think. A neighbouring operator had one some time ago in a crowded hangar, and incredibly didn't injure the individual (who turned the prop to walk past), or run off across the hangar.
