Someone got hit by a plane's landing gear last year, he wasn't seriously hurt - just got face planted in the gravel. He was lucky!

But he wasn't on airport property. He was on the side of the road just outside a traffic circle that is in the glide path for the runway. The runway is about 250 feet away from the road. Here is a picture that shows where he would have been standing with the runway in the background.
