Essential passenger briefing...Stay in the plane

Nothing funny about this.

I have occasionally entered or exited a plane with the engine running. Also had instructors or passengers do it. I am always very careful to approach from the tail toward the door.

But this report is causing me to re-consider this.

But would you jump out of the plane while your non-pilot spouse was presumably left at the controls? I know I certainly wouldn't.

Good point. Normally myself or another very experienced pilot is at the controls. Would require a very careful briefing, which was apparently not done in this case.

I wonder how clean the amputation is from this sort of thing and if reattachment surgery would be a possibility. Or if the blow of the blade just shatters the limb?

In any case, I hope for the best recovery possible.
