The propeller struck a disembarking pax on the right arm as he jumped into shallow water to wade ashore. Although the pilot had warned the pax before disembarking to "watch the prop", the pax had become distracted as he walked forward along the left float of the float-equipped DHC-2T to get closer to shore before jumping.
