Reminds me of 2 semi-similar instances.
Don't recall where, but a 412 was taking off with a cabinful of Skydivers. Pilot did a pedal turn, and the tail rotor went right into a photographer snapping pictures of god knows what.
Second one comes from a friend of mine that was a lifer in the Marines. Back in the 70's-80's, he says a helo (unsure of type) brought in Santa Clause to a crowd of hundreds of young children. Helicopter landed, and as it shut down, the Santa came out, stood up on some form of the helicopter, and gave a big wave... off went the fingers and hand.
It boggles the mind as to how some people can reach the rotors on some of these aircraft. I still don't understand why non-trained people don't crouch as they approach hot helos like they did on MASH. Common sense, peoples...
