I hate seeing people around Helicopters with the Rotors spinning. I always wait until the Blades have stopped before jumping out. No rush. A few weeks ago I had to land the Schweizer in front of the hangar with the Tail facing the cabin were everyone sits (Due to the Increased Wind Speed), so I couldn't see anybody when I was on the ground. While I was letting her cool down my friend came up the Left side of the machine and opened the door to watch me shut down I gave him a reality check afterwards never to do it again.
