Certainly an unfortunate event, but not the first for the 76 and fatalities have resulted in the past. I always tried to impress on guys new to the 76 that while the disk can get low there is really little excuse (unless it has not been brought to your attention of course) for such an accident. The disk can be positioned so that not even Jordan on his best day on the court could commit suicide (well almost). A case of paying attention (by pilots) when people are around a running aircraft. The most experienced aviation practitioners have been done in by props, rotors etc
