Ok, thats bad that she got injured but come on now. You are riding in a propeller plane. The propeller is on the front. Why the hell would anyone get out of a plane with the engine still running and actually go towards the front?
A few more RPM on that prop and she'd be shoo-in nominee for the Darwin award.
