Back in the 80s, a US Army Cobra crew landed on a range in Germany. One of the crew got out, rotors running, walked around the aircraft, and managed to walk into the tail rotor. Just a moments inattention.

In the 90s, a passenger got out of a British Army Lynx, and walked straight into the spinning tail rotor. Never trust a passenger.
