Good idea. I was once carrying out a "running change" in a Bulldog. I was in the process of getting back in the right side and was standing on the wing. The student, having finished solo circuits, hadn't set the parking brake properly and the aircraft began to roll forwards. The student suddenly saw the aircraft movement and without warning jammed on the toe brakes. I was thrown towards the spinning prop but just managed to grab the screen frame with my fingertips... Very close.
