Wing / Head protector

I actually find that for me the biggest problem is the prop or rather me walking into it -  whenever I work around the plane I tend to hang towels on each blade to make it into a solid object and thus trigger my subconscious  “avoid this” response …

Over the tear I have bumped my head on airplanes in the shop, but it is pretty rare. It most often happens when I am working on or concentrating on something else. I by far am more likely to bump my head at a fly-in or airshow. I don't normally wear a hat except when I am at an event. Wearing a hat makes me more likely to bump my head, because it blocks what I am going to bump from view.

Surprised nobody has mentioned the doors.  When open, I think that forward lower edge has caught me more than any other part of the plane.  As Tom mentions, having a hat on and then being low enough to not hit the wing, but not seeing the door underneath it, I've had a couple hard licks on that situation.
