The pilot reported that he was preparing his airplane for departure in a designated "run-up" area. The passenger's girlfriend wanted to document the flight with photographs and video. As she approached the airplane from the rear to check an airframe-mounted camera before the airplane departed, she was struck in the head by the propeller of the rear mounted engine. The pilot heard the noise and immediately shut the engine down. Several other people, who were standing nearby, had warned her to stay clear of the engine/propeller area.
Probable Cause: The person on the ground's failure to stay clear of a spinning propeller.
