Once, someone was working on the antenna when someone else turned the radar on. They rushed the guy on the roof to the hospital in an ambulance. I don't recall the rest of the story. This would all depend on the type of Radar, and it's specific Transmitting Characteristics. Some military radars of that era were in the Megawatt Peak Pulse Power range, and these "could" have Biological Issues in the near field. Very few radars of that era, were CW, Frequency Agile, or Spread Spectrum Radars, with High Power CW outputs. Much more likely, would be the Antenna, smacked the guy, physically, and, or knocked him off the ladder, he may have been standing on, when it started turning, unexpectedly.... This type of injury is still very common, even on commercial Marine and Aircraft Search Radars, that don't have the Peak Pulse Power Levels, even at the Antenna Radiator Surface, to cause Biological Heating Issues.
