I've heard similar stories about people being killed by flying chuck keys. Since I heard about them, I was sure to specifically bring it up at safety training every year.
Also, the easiest ways to prevent flying chuck keys are a) get the spring-loaded ones (which are sometimes a pain to use, but worth it), or b) never have one touching the chuck unless your hand is on it.
