Fuck that's gruesome. Article says she stepped backwards into the propeller. I cannot imagine why she should have been allowed anywhere near the front of the propeller.
General aviation airports often have little or no staff and only rudimentary access controls. People walking around aircraft are expected to be responsible for their own safety.
Says she died in hospital. So probably wasn't minced.
Cant say the same for that video of the guy who walked around and 'ducked' under the tail rotor of an idling helicopter
