I have seen (but did not keep copies of, unfortunately) one or two death registration cards at Fold3.com where the cause of death was »Propellerschlag«.

And yet people sometimes did. Conversely, a friend of mine who's now retired from civil aviation and still reads the Air Accident Investigation Board reports told me that he has never seen a single case of someone having the kind of accident that the mandatory hi-vis tabards are supposed to prevent. Does that show they are effective or unnecessary?
