This clip is used widely in ramp safety training by BA and the BAA in the UK and to a lessor extent overseas. The chap in question was not saved by his bone dome but by his shoulder width blocking the intake and the fast action of the engine/ headset man, who reacted very quickly. In addition there is another clip used which shows the power of blast at Frisco when a pick uptruck is towed behind an A300 with engines set to idle, the truck is picked up and turned over in mid air and ends up in the bay. Interesting about the engine guards as I recall they were used extensively for runups at BA eng LHR/LGW for 747/SSC but I do not recall there use for twin engined a/c. The VC10 incident engineer retired within the last two years from BA and on sader note I recall late 70's a fatality when engineer walked into Viscounts blades on the ED baseat LHR.
