You cant tell me, you walk out of the plane, the first thing you see or HEAR is the engine still running, and walk crooked right into a planes propeller. Again, COMMON SENSE has to fall into play somewhere. Unless she is deaf, you WILL hear the engine running.

Also, the way the article read, the 200k was offered right away, no negotiations necessary. I'd say the insurance carrier knows that the insured is liable for this, that this isn't the question. I would wager, the insurance company has money and the pilot and owner are effectively broke. The model is going after the only one with money in this situation.
