All the years I did R/C planes, managed to NOT get anything in a running prop except for air.
One guy in the club was flying his Piper Cub from a lawn chair. Taxied it right up to the chair to do a little tuning on the mixture. When he leaned forward his tummy hit the throttle. Instead of going straight the wing caught on him and his chair, it spun the plane around so it headed straight for the back of his chair. The front of the plane was just tall enough so the prop was hitting him on the butt as he yelled and tried to get out of the chair. He wasn't hurt bad, just a few small lacerations like Joe described, BUT it sure was funny to watch.
