Plain and simple (no pun intended), that pilot should have shut down his engine. No good pilot ever lets passengers in or out of his aircraft with propellers whirring around. This was a tragedy that easily could have been prevented if he had just shut down the motor.
The parents guessed she lost her hand defending her face after it was hit, but there would not of been time. I think she was getting her hair out of her face with her hand and her hand being severed probaby stopped her from being killed, as soon as she was struck she would of dropped to the ground. no time for anything else.
I would guess she was intoxicated, those props. make a lot of noise and they also push
air around, you can FEEL THEM weather or not you see them. Sad.
I don't blame the pilot, how on earth would he have guessed she would turn around and walk' right into the propeller? Yes I could see a child doing such. but a child would have an adult with them. I guess she needed an adult with her? Dang! That just scks, poor kid.
I just heard about this from reading something online and I still don't get how you can walk into a propeller, regardless if it's on or off. Most folks should know not to walk towards the front or back of a plane unless it's shut off and there is a reason to go there. You have to not be paying attention to do something so stupid. It's a plane so obviously you should be cautious whether it's engine is running or not.
Eye eye eye, so this girl SINGLE HANDEDLY ruined her career over poor perception? I know this sounds insensitive but she walked right into that one! Okay I'm done.
Every pilot I have EVER talked with agrees that this is pilot negligence. Regardless of how it happened, the pilot is always responsible for his/her passengers from the moment they step on to the tarmac, until the moment they step off (especially if the passengers are lay people. A friend who flies a 4-person piper won't even let us open the door until his plane is completely shut down.

The air moving from the props would of whirled her hair infront of her face.
