            get well soon DD. And may I kindly suggest you find a different profession since this is now your second run in with a drone in less than 12 months? I mean you must be like a cat where you have 9 lives since you already fell out of a tree trying to retrieve a drone and lived, now this?

                What the hell did he try to swat it out of the sky with his bare hand.....

                Ouch.

                Hope you're feeling better.

                  @mlnews That's why you DO NOT fly with carbon fiber props around people. Ouch! (I don't know any more than what's been posted here, but it'd be a lot harder to cause that sort of damage with plastic props.) Do I need to start a drone safety thread?

                    I don't think he has much choice, he flies and trains people on commercial drones. He uses the big boys, the ones that fly over the ocean and go computer controlled for a long distance and are used to inspect resources at sea and stuff like that. I don't think plastic props are an option on that kind of gear.

                      The stuff that he uses is basically like the military stuff.... except without the guns.

                        Ah, that's a whole other level than my 450mm hobbyist stuff. No wonder they can cause serious bodily harm.

                          And he does rotary quad copter stuff and fixed wing, too. Wide range.

                          He can't type, but he is watching the thread.

                                  I have always hated that scene because they did not even bother to do anything with the cuff of his shirt.

                                  I mean really, we know it is a movie, but still bad is bad.

                                    @JaredBusch LOL, me too. I always feel that that scene was so lazy.
