According to NTSB 830, it's not an accident unless it occurs "... between
the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight and all
such persons have disembarked...".

As he was exiting the hangar and she was lying on the ground, I would
suspect that neither of them had boarded. Therefore, I doubt it's
reportable. (Unless, of course, someone else, unmentioned in the original
post, was already inside the aircraft, but even then I'd doubt it.)

Thanks, you actually hit the point I was about to inquire about. It
actually sounds like it is since there was an injury that required more
than minor treatment.
