Analysis
The acft had just landed & the plt was taxiing to hook up to another glider when the acft became lodged n soft dirt. Two ground crewmembers came over to the acft. The plt stated that he told one of them to 'stay behind the strut while I shutdown'. He then turned to check on the other person as he pulled the mixture to stop the eng. At about that time, the plt heard a thump. He said he looked back to the left & saw the crewmember laying on the ground with serious injuries. In retrospect, the plt reported that he could have shut the eng down with the mag switch which would have beenfaster than cutting off the mixture.e mixture.
