That's like, number 5 on my list of things not to do while the truck is running...
1) Don't touch the exhaust
2) Don't stick your fingers near the fan blades
3) Keep lose clothing away from belts
4) Avoid touching possibly bad plug wires
5) DON'T TAKE THE OIL CAP OFF

A couple things you might add: - Don't pull the wire off the coil while the engine is running. Yes, it will stop the engine, but not after sending 10 000 V through you to your knee or willy which ever is closest to the metal bumper.
- Don't bump your mechanics stethoscope against a a moving part- like a cooling fan.
- Don't drop the hood while your head is still under it.
- Don't pull the gear shift out of gear on a hill unless the hand brake works or you are in the car.
- If a bolt isn't going in easily, Don't force it unless you like drilling.
- Make sure your face isn't in line with the trajectory of a the oil/ coolant when you undo the drain bolt.
