Taxi Accident Breaks Passengers Arm.... With Prop

Repeat After Me -- NEVER Let Anyone Near A Moving Prop

While we may all have thought about it (making a quick stop with a moving prop to drop off a passenger, quickly), there is simply NO reason for any passenger to be allowed anywhere near a moving prop... as accidents like that below prove so succinctly. Thankfully; this could have been a LOT worse, and the passnger still has their arm. Be careful!
