Today's Idiot

GAINESVILLE, Ga. -- A woman hit in the head by a small plane at Lee Gilmer Airport is recovering.

Police Lieutenant Brian Kelly says 72-year-old William Hohns of Acworth was the pilot of the plane that hit 41-year-old Amy Dunahoo. Kelly says the left wing of the plane struck the woman when she stepped into its path as the 1977 Piper was taxiing for takeoff Sunday.
At least it wasn't a helicopter
She was airlifted to North Fulton Hospital and is reported to be in good condition.
No word as to where her luggage was airlifted

It's in Houston.

Kelly says it's the first time he's seen a pedestrian-airplane accident.
The Consumer Product Safety Commision today has stated that it is considering either requiring aircraft manufactureres to make the wings from Nerf materail or install horns on aircraft

#4 OK, here's the stupidest part of this story. I know there's not a lot of late model Super Cubs so most of the Pipers in 1977 were low wings (Archer, Warrior, Seneca). I looked up the guys A/C registration and sure enough this plane is a low wing Archer. So tell me how this happens:

The lady must have been crawling around on the taxiway otherwise it would have hit her in the leg. Maybe its like that David Hasselhoff video.

#2 A simple safety label will do.
"If you can read this, you're about to be hit in the face with an airplane wing"
