The guy looked like he wanted to comit suicide at the end.

But what was he doing, just standing there while it beat itself to pieces. He should of just ran over thier and stuck his foot on it and turned it off.....Maybe

Once they get like that its best to just let em' finish. It usually is a spitting mass of carbon fiber, and aluminum missles rapidly departing in random directions.

I packed my bird in about 3 weeks ago. It hit backwards and upside down doing about 50mph. It threw a piece of the weighted blade about 50 yards right past this old guys head while he was flying his tiger 60 trainer. I ended up walking out to the runway, and it was seriously 60 yards from the impact site.

RADICAL ~!

Nah, let it beat itself to death. Those blades are razor sharp when they break, and if you try to grab it, it could cut you. The heli is cheap compared to what it costs to reattach a hand. There was a guy at my home field that hit himself with his heli and literally cut several fingers off. That was a 30 sized with wooden blades. Luckily, they got him to a hospital and had his fingers reattached. The fingers don't work too well, but he's getting better.

Lets just say, you'll come back looking like you went 10 rounds with a tiger
