Well there have been people killed by falling debris,...

I was surprised by how little damage the debris seemed to cause. The
ring from the front of the engine was being held up by a fairly small
branch and none of the stuff that fell onto grass left any obvious gouges.


A lot of the metal stuff around engines is a honeycomb of thin metal to
reduce noise so the big bits - like the cowling - would be low density,
have a relatively low terminal velocity, and make little impact.
