Mind you, some of them do overdo the safety a bit…
Most of the time the guys with yellow jacket at the ramp are in our way when we have to pushback or move off of our parking spot, why not make that they automatically walk away from you when we turn on beacon lights, just like real life after all…

That’s why I stick to the rear engine CJ4. I don’t have to worry about my paint job if that happens, but I pity anyone taxi’ing behind me.
Voted and love the beacon light trigger, but for now I’ll keep running through and slicing them in half with my wings.
I always feel bad for the ground crew in the propeller area when I start the engine(s). Even worse when I run right through them.
I’d like to have a “Clear prop!” feature: bind it to a key/button and when pressed it should have all crew and equipment evacuated from the immediate surroundings of the plane/propeller(s). Preferably animated, not just disappeared.
Switching on some external lights (mentioned earlier in this thread) should have a similar effect (as should a running engine / spinning prop) but a dedicated “clear the immediate area” feature might be even more useful. One could potentially use third-party software to make a voice command to trigger this. 
I dunno, if they don’t move away, I’d like a mod that flings the ground crew into the distance (complete with a cartoon “wooosh” sound) if they touch the running props. lol

I’d vote for that
