Numerous incidents prompted the walkaround safety module during QCQ a while back. On a walk around, one of our pilots stepped between baggage carts just before the driver pulled away, leaving the pilot badly mangled. Several incidents of pilots tripping over the towbar and completing their trip with ripped pants or out of uniform. Pilot in $900 shoes with no grip ending up on their back in 10-degree weather after slipping on ice. Also not a pilot, but there was a horrific incident caught on video of a wingwalker with wands clearly lit and up being struck by a tug and violently thrown across the ramp. Thankfully the ramper survived but with severe injuries. 717 crew waiting to park witnessed the entire event. Be careful out there, folks.
