OK... say yoou're doing 120 knots at 2400 rpm (just for some plausible figures) that makes about 60 metres per second with blades sweeping every 50 cm (40 revs per second & 3 blades).

Plausible if not probable that the prop will strike the neck or tail of the goose, without in all probability making a huge fuss about it.
