Then, of course, there’s the inlet on the A6….

Luckily, this guy survived...not so much for ramp workers who've walk in front of commercial airlines...wood chippers are no match for turbofans...

This is what I envision every time I am under a B-737 engine that is running.
This was a On-Call Contract Maintenance Event in - El-Passo

I have not seen the full detailed report on why the engine run (that I remember anyway) was needed or if the flight crew ran it above idle, they were at the gate- so if above ide it was not much above it.
If they were following procedures (Safety)
Since this was a Contract Maintenance Event - Most On-Call (Contract) are not Engine Run Qualified so this would have been the Flight Crew performing the Engine Run and the Mechanic down at the engine

Caution: Not for the Squimish

Holy Crap! Probably quick merciful death...Yikes...

Thank you all for the responses. I'll just replace the hose myself.

Duke, I apologize. Despite only being 25, I can never seem to get the search function to show me what I'm looking for. I'll probably spend some time this weekend looking up obscure topics and problems to try to master it. Better to learn it before I'm stuck on the side of the road looking for an answer in the middle of a thread that goes off topic on tailgate dampers.

You’re not alone on search results and I’m 63 and tech savvy. I suck it up and post my question and the Post Patrol Officers quickly point out the errors in my ways but I get an answer.

How much do you want to bet it used to be a metal bracket and someone in Australia did a field repair with a piece of hose and Ford went ?

I don't know how often a solution is like this used in other vehicles/manufacturers but it certainly looks like a Mickey Mouse idea.

This particular hose is not like any return hose I can remember on past cars/trucks. It is gonna be a b***h and a half to access/replace it. Please tell me I’m wrong.

By the way, that new scout is looking better every day. It’s appalling that I’d have to replace a hose on a 5 year old truck w 35k miles on it.

I use this product from NAPA and it keeps my hose soft and pliable.

Still a common practice/ need even in commercial aviation, mostly for leak checks after maintenance.
As long as you keep engine at idle and keep your body inside the safety area it is safe.
It is still a dangerous part of the job and mechanics have made an error and been sucked in - the 737 engine is the most dangerous as the engine inlet is lower to the ground.

That'll ruin your day!
