The passenger was being closely supervised by experienced ground staff as he disembarked but he suddenly turned, walked back under the disc and raised his arms to wave goodbye. A pilot's nightmare, doesn't matter how much you brief some people, they still forget about basic self preservation.
Know the feeling... things can happen in a blink of an eye

Can you immagine watching a father lift his son up onto his shoulders right after exiting the helicopter???!!! This happened to me some years ago, my groundhandler acted in reflex though and saved the kid from sure death, only to be cursed out by the angry father.........

Things to think about when hot-loading pax. Unless it is 100% necessary I avoid it.
