BELEM, Brazil (Reuters) -- The pilot of a light plane decapitated a woman jogger in northern Brazil on Friday when he landed on a runway used by local residents as a sports field, police said.

They said the pilot, Wilson Alessandro, immediately fled in his Cessna but was arrested when he landed again 75 miles (120 km) away in Belem, capital of the state of Para, and would be charged with involuntary homicide.

Police said the victim, Maria dos Santos Rodrigues, 42, was jogging on the runway in the town of Cameta. "She was moving along the runway, she tried to duck when she saw the plane land but it caught her," spokeswoman France Davis Fernandes Costa said.

Police said they would investigate why Alessandro tried to land on the Cameta runway, which was closed to aircraft and was popular with joggers and fitness walkers.

Don't recall who said that:

"Wouldn't it be shame if I died healthy?"

or maybe the pilot was just having own emergencies, which of he quickly healed up after realising he had rammed someone with the plane.

Lesson 2: IF THERE ARE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ON THE RUNWAY
+ YOU DON'T SEE ANY AIRCRAFT, AIRPORT GROUND VEHICLES,
A TOWER, RUNWAY LIGHTS ETC. ETC. ETC -WHAT YOU'RE LANDING ON IS NOT A RUNWAY!!

How the hell can you not see a cessna coming?

I tell you, it's the MP3 piracy which killed her.
You see, people buys those MP3 players and then jogs with headphones tapped in ears.
Of course MP3 player is bunch of illegal MP3s.

See how easy it is! let's sue them bastard MP3 pirates for murder of first degree.

Sudden stoppage on a piston airplane from any object like a head is cause for undue expense, re-inspection, and possible replacment of pistons, cylinder heads, valves, and for sure cam shafts. All very pricey.

That's what I would have done.

A Cessna with power off and prop windmilling is pretty darn stealthy until its right on top of you.
