Assuming the person is in the open and unprotected the person may be blown over or picked up and thrown. He or she may also be hit be flying debris. However, in most cases a person will be in some sort of structure. In most cases the structure will remain intact, thus protecting people inside from serious injury or death(though there are exceptions). In cases where the structure sustains major damage or is destroyed, a person inside by be struck by flying or falling objects, and may even be carried away. The worse damage a tornado does to a structure, the more likely it is that someone inside will be killed or injured.
