inlet screens - for protecting engines or people?

This is just an amateur's guess (and maybe a bit offtopic), but would an inlet screen really have saved the life of the engineer?

I would imagine that they are good for protecting the engine / fans, but a person getting sucked into the screen in front of an engine at takeoff power wouldn't survive anyway unless wearing a helmet / protective clothing etc...?
