I have for years emphasized the need to respect what I have called the "Kill Zone," that plane passing through the spinning object and perpendicular to the axis of rotation. I would remove the audience chairs in that plane. Suggest turners use the push cut when they can. Learn to turn both handed. And generally not linger in the zone when not necessary. Until a couple of months ago I had never heard of another turner expressing the same sentiment. I cannot do that now, because I stumbled onto Richard Rafan's AAW journal article "On Demonstrating" in which he does. It is AW3402p31-35.pdf which appears in the American Woodturner, April 2019.
