At least it was a -200 with a row of stators before the first stage of the compressor. Lost his arm, bad enough.
If it was a -800, the guy would be deader than dead.
Always amazes me that more ground crew don't get chewed up by engines, the amount of times i've seen people approach the aircraft with engines on, beacons on. It only takes one small mistake, and they are toast.
