There have been a few deaths in the USA involving the turbines and guys performing air work and ag. The main concern is not so much the turbines themselves but the towers that they put up near them to measure wind speed. These are basically long poles with bracing wires and unmarked and vertually invisible when flying along. These can be put up over night and not reported as they are within a few feet short of the maximum reporting height.
