Watch This Video of a Drone Prop Cutting Into Raw Flesh

April 17, 2016 By Eric Reagan

While not quite as gruesome as it sounds, this video shows what could happen from a drone impacting humans in a sort of “worst case scenario” crash.

Below is the normal speed video that puts the super slow motion clip above in a little better context.

Of course, the carbon fiber propeller isn’t quite the most common found on a DJI Phantom and the sliding rail prevents any kind of diversion on impact. Still yet, there have been plenty of injuries from drone crashes. Be safe out there folks.

    The original Phantom Owners used to buy Carbon Fiber props because they provided a more stable experience.

    I fly a 3DR Solo, and the props break on contact. Trust me
