And if aardvarks aren't getting run over then it's people. How does this guy get himself under the nosewheel on pushback?
Not many realize the significant hazard of a large aircraft tire in motion. I remember being told in ramper ground school a couple decades ago that all a large moving tire has to do is touch your leg while you're not looking, and its friction and momentum will pull you down and run you over, even if it's moving at 1 mph. I just know I wouldn't want 100 tons on top of me.
