Skydiver Killed by Airplane Propeller

Author: Taz | Files under Aircraft, Casualties: Low

A female skydiver was killed when she walked into a spinning aircraft propeller at an airfield in Estonia, a country in northern Europe.  The accident occurred as a group of skydivers began to board the turbo-prop airplane in the town of Rapla.  Police say the 29-year-old victim died instantly when she was hit by one of the twin-engine aircraft’s propellers, and the incident is under investigation.  The woman’s parachuting club, Skydive Estonia, said the woman was an experienced skydiver who had made over 200 jumps.
