Seems to me I just explained a near miss in one of my last posts. But since you need more, it took about two minutes to find these. You can find more on your own.
This one involved the pilot but again, could have involved others.

Then there is this one which happened at Van Air in Brighton, Colorado which just
happens to be where my sister lived at the time. No injury here but it came very close
to downing the full scale airplane.

Then how about the young lady in a Florida park who was struck by a helicopter, As I remember she lost a finger and had severe head lacerations. Couldn’t find that article but it happened a couple of years ago.
