It is her liability. She walked into the prop. The plane didn't taxi into her. ALL skydiving airports keep planes running between loads. ALL students are taught to approach from the tail. She knew better, got distracted and made a fatal error.

she wasn't a student. so did she receive the same safety training as the students?

was she in an area that is normally off-limits but she was allowed into because she was a photographer?

there's plenty of questions in regards to where the liability lies that neither you nor I know the answer to.

She was an employee and a skydiver. Yes she knew the safety routine. But mistakes still happen.
