Ford had a problem in the early seventies with their flexible fan blades. I believe a couple of mechanics were killed or seriously injured when fans failed as the mechanic leaned over the radiator and revved the engine.

Fan failures were fairly common before fan clutches and electric fans were introduced. I've heard many stories of fan parts coming through the hood, but I've never experienced it myself.
