A passenger sustained serious injuries after walking into a moving propeller at night. The passenger said that after she got out of the airplane, she walked to the front and into the moving propeller. The passenger was not briefed on exiting procedures for the airplane. This was the passenger's first flight in a small airplane.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to either brief the passenger about disembarking from an airplane with the propeller running or to shutdown the engine during the passenger's disembarkation. The night lighting condition and the passenger's lack of familiarity with airplanes were factors.
