If that was all they had, then I'd share your concern, but they've probably got steel toecap boots and high viz jackets as well.

But the main hazard - golf balls - come at you from more-or-less any angle other than directly overhead!

I believe that it was even worse standing on the ground. I did it quite a few times, usually with BA or with Cathay Pacific, but also with some Chinese airlines. Thank god the take off was always out to sea.

I'm not sure about worse; I watched it quite a few times from the relative safety of the ground and used to feel sorry for the poor souls on board experiencing it for the first time.
