Narrative:
We were on doing a touch and go at winter haven (gif) and after touchdown; a construction worker walked right out on the runway in our path. The student had no time to react other than lock up the brakes. I quickly took the flight controls and applied full power and lifted the aircraft off the ground to avoid hitting the person on the active runway. We avoided any type of accident; but when we returned back to pie; we found the tires flat spotted on both mains.
