Narrative:
When the young college age man was leaving the aircraft; he was looking down at his iphone and he did not see the low clearance of the airstair doorway. He also looked very out of it from sleeping during the flight. He bumped his head pretty good and kind of fell backwards a bit from the impact. He did not sustain any injury and he left the aircraft. Low clearance of the airstair door caused the issue; as well as his being distracted and tired.
