From the Wikipedia article
The CASA Aviocar accident at Long Bawan Airport occurred on 19 December 2001, when a CASA/Nurtanio NC-212-CC4 Aviocar 200 cargo aircraft of Dirgantara Air Services was being handled at Long Bawan Airport after a regional cargo flight within Indonesia. A man ran into a turning propeller; he was killed instantly.
Sequence of events
After a domestic cargo flight the aircraft was standing at Long Bawan Airport and was being unloaded by a ground staff employee, while the two pilots remained in the cockpit. Since the aircraft had no auxiliary power unit and no ground power unit was available either, engine No. 2 remained running during unloading to ensure that the generator produced power for the on-board electrical system. No security personnel had been assigned to monitor activities on the apron. The aircraft was oriented at 40 degrees, with the nose landing gear 7 metres and the main landing gear 6.2 metres from the edge of the apron. A man who was helping with the unloading suddenly ran into the turning propeller of engine No. 2. It struck him on the head; he was killed instantly.
