Should I not even attempt this? Any thoughts welcome, thanks!

Considering how much weight I've got in my loft on the same size
joists
I don't reckon you've got anything to worry about.

For a start, do you ever walk in the loft? If so you must be putting
more load than that on the joists as you walk about.

Quite so. I've seen 3' fans on this joist size without any problem.

About 2 people per year are killed in the US by these things
falling down when operating.

_Please_ don't tell Prescott!

No, just seat him under one and hope.
