Poor situational awareness on the ramp.
Ramp Worker Ingested By Delta A319 Engine.
“The second time in 6 months a ramp worker has been ingested by a jet engine. The FAA has confirmed the Delta Air Lines worker was killed at the San Antonio Airport late Friday. “An airport ramp worker was involved in an accident in the gate area at San Antonio International Airport around 10:30 p.m. local time on Friday, June 23, while a jetliner was pulling up to the terminal. Delta Flight 1111, an Airbus A319, had just arrived from Los Angeles International Airport,” the FAA said in a statement. The NTSB released a statement saying the aircraft was taxiing to the gate on one engine when the incident occurred.”
EDIT
Authorities claim the man intentionally stepped in front of the live engine.

When I die I sure hope no one makes a YouTube video about me with emojis and exclamation points.
I remember. Equally tragic, equally should be a Never event.
