A videographer filming at Écouflant, near Angers, Maine-et-Loire was struck by the ultralight aircraft propeller, the report claims he had positioned himself in the path of the aircraft, he was seriously injured.
I know it's easy to become "disconnected" from the world when we're filming, but it's something to keep in mind.
 
There's a bit more information here...

 
potential candidate for a Darwin award, but given he was 64 and probably a parent/grandparent probably wouldn't qualify
 
Pity the poor pilot - probably had to pull up before reaching the right speed, certainly will have sustained propellor damage and possibly crankshaft damage from the strike.
