This is a pretty sad story, but kind of funny when I realize just how stupid people can be. It goes to show that they should really make exceptions for security reasons. The fact that they couldn’t proceed toward the aircraft “for safety reasons” is pretty disturbing. Surely there was a lack of smarts used in this whole situation.

(my bold)

You can perhaps argue many failings in this case, however the decision by security not to pursue is unlikely to be one of them.

Not running in front of a moving aircraft is not a nod to the HSE but in most people a survival trait.

The crew are very unlikely able to see you and you are unlikely to see all of the bumps lumps and other protruberences that may strike you, quite apart from the risk of being injested or blown / blasted senseless.

I myself have witnessed an awful lot of cases of Antenna Rash caused by inattention near staionary aircraft
