Eventually, when all is secured, the onlooker will be drawn in by all the lanyards and suspending cords, and then someone has a very nasty job.

PTO shafts on tractors are very fond of bits of trouser leg, leading to the ingesting of the person leg. A worker on one farm I worked on, lost his leg like that out in the fields, tourniqueted his leg with his belt and drove back to the yard. The will to live can be strong.
