I don't mean to kick an injured man when he's down. but if I'm reading the course of events correctly he was in front of the wheels whilst the aircraft was still moving into place on stand, collapsed and was subsequently run-over?

If that's correct, why was he so close? Who do ground staff insist on thinking it's brave to approach the aircraft before it's parked and before the strobes are off?

Here in the UK we have to 6 foot rule to prevent exactly this kind of horrible accident occuring, I assume similar rules are in place in SA?
