I swear on the local news, her mom or someone was giving an interview and said something stupid along the lines of:

"She may have been injured by a propeller, but this incident has propelled her (..pause..) to be closer to Jesus.."

.. or something similar.

...I too don't get how you'd manage to do this. I've been around planes on a few brief occasions: At an airshow, and I once rode in a single-prop plane. They're not whisper-quiet things that'll sneak up on you. It's a big machine that has a giant exposed blender on the front. How can you not instinctively treat that end with a sense of "Holy shit this thing wants to kill me!"?

At least Jesus is on her side.

Maybe the footprints in the sand stopped when Jesus got sucked into a jet engine.

I felt bad about what I posted until I read that. Now I feel bad for the girl because of her parents, not because of her injuries. I do hope she recovers though.

Idiot. What a fucking moron. You always approach and depart an airplane with a spinning propeller from the rear.

You just spent time up in the air and the damn thing was roaring away. She gets down on the ground and it's still load and she thinks it's ok to go walking into it?

No pity from me for someone this stupid.

This times 1000. Plus, can't you fucking hear or feel that propeller is spinning.

Again, I don't understand how something like this happens. But then again, I've got about 28 hours in a Cessna 172 and 112 jumps from an Otter, Caravan, and PAC750 so I've been around small aircraft a lot.

 

[Imp]

Not discounting idiocy - shit happens. Maybe her attention was elsewhere. Hopefully not on her phone to update Twitter...

The family is relying on their faith.
"We know that Lauren will soar because of this," her mother said. "And she was hit by a propeller, but she will be propelled to do God's work."

They were out looking at the Christmas lights, so it was dark. The prop just about disappears in daylight, in the dark it is truly invisible unless a strobe happens to flash off it. The pilot was totally negligent to leave it running around untrained personnel.

So a blonde was easily distracted by shiny things?

Who knew.

Enough people that they paint a series of stripes on the tips to make a visible ring when they are spinning. Enough people that anyone that worked around aircraft in the military can tell you just how many training films they sat through regarding safety when working around aircraft including being sucked into jets and chopped up by propellers. She should not have been allowed to deplane until the engine was shut down.

Night time is the worst. Having looked at the backs of propellers for more than 40 years now, I can tell you they disappear in the dark. That ring you speak of is not painted on the back side, so no help there.
Access to our plane is off the back of the wing away from the engine, but I still shut off the right engine to let anyone out if I plan on further ramp movements. It is easy to restart. If they want to get to the other one, it is a 40 yard walk around the plane.

Very sad.

Indeed

This is truly a tragedy. I mean she's a model after all. Her livelihood depends on her good looks and now that's gone.

She's still gonna be pretty. The fan didn't cut off her face...

She's not stupid. She's ignorant. Not everybody grew up around airplanes. I didnt.
Of course I know better than to walk into a propeller so.........
:hmm:

OK, I think I see your point.
