Narrative:
Gate area was properly cleared for parking. Just a few feet prior to our final parking position while the aircraft was still moving I noted the forward cargo door opened light was illuminated. The aircraft was stopped and the first officer immediately confirmed the baggage loader was at the forward cargo directly in front of the right engine. This is a persistent problem at mia; an aircraft is going to get damaged and/or someone is going to get hurt.
