Analysis
An unemployed person was trying to help load an acft. In noticing that a bill of laden had been left off the cargo he ran toward the acft which had, by this time, started engines. The plt said he saw the running man and shoved the mixtures to cut off the engines, but the props did not stop in time to avoid injury to the man. After the prop hit the mans right shoulder, arm & hand he stumbled about 35 ft away fron the acft & fell to the ramp.
