Analysis
The pilot of N150WM was giving free rides to guests. He taxied to the active runway after a landing and discharged a passenger. A female passenger walked out to the airplane to get in but due to the fact she had previously rode, the pilot asked her to let someone else ride. The passenger closed the cabin door and walked into the propeller.
