What word, where, when, was he hurt? Was he doing a preflight on a new airplane that some other regional was scheduled to get but didn't at the last minute? When will age 70 retirement be passed, is fuel getting cheaper or more expensive . .. .. sorry had to bust on you for the rumor mill.

If I saw someone wearing an Ipod (or talking on a cell phone) get hit by a tug while doing a preflight I would probably have to laugh before I faked being concerned.
I refuse to wear a bright orange vest. Too much of an indignity. Orange isn't my color.

See the airline does love us. They don't want us to get hurt. They want to give us free orange vests! There is something positive to come out of this.

Next they are going to issue us helmets. And maybe ice-skates to do walk arounds in the winter. They really need to focus on training and enforcing rules for the rampers and those that drive on the ramp. I don't know how many of those guys I have seen using cell phones, and what appear to be Ipod head-phones in their ears. The fuelers (at least at DFW) need more training as well, leaving their grounding cables strung out at knee or chest height just waiting to snag someone.
You know these vests are the end of any Captain ever volunteering to get the walk around ever again. The Captain I was flying with Saturday said he isn't heading to the ramp anymore unless he has to.
Just wait until someone gets hit by one of those sky-cap carts in the terminal, then we will have to wear the vests inside as well.
