Plenty of people have made mistakes around ground and ship based radar systems too and have accidentally cooked their insides. Just because 5G conspiracy theorists took over that argument doesn’t mean it has no basis in reality.

It doesn’t mention specific cases, but there’s a local man who described his time working on radar arrays during his time in the Navy before he was medically discharged. His explanation of events was that he turned off the array while he was performing maintenance on a specific radar antenna, but someone turned it back on when he was still working. He said he heard the array come back online and stopped working, but there was thermal damage done to his testes.
I have no reason to doubt him because clearly its possible. But the primary point stands. There’s enough evidence within the military to warrant safety guidelines when working with radar emitters.
