The pilot was conducting a local personal flight. The pilot said he developed “unnecessary anxiety” and hurried his landing due to approaching traffic. He failed to brake aggressively and, as a result, was unable to turn in time to exit the runway. The airplane rolled off the taxiway and became bogged down in the wet grass from a previous rain. Instead of shutting the engine off, the pilot closed the throttle to idle, exited the airplane, and tried to push the airplane with the left strut. “Without thinking,” the pilot walked toward the nosewheel to inspect the airplane and walked into the rotating propeller.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to shut down the engine before exiting the airplane and his failure to focus his attention on the task at hand, which led to his walking into a rotating propeller.
