Must not have been too bad, or they'd be carrying a bucket, not a gurney.

One of the best things about RC model flying... you screw up and you still walk home

Not entirely true. Props can cause some damage. We had a popular heli guy get killed in Houston when he was struck by a rotor. And Noah from RCG lost part of his thumb and another finger I think when a plane wasn't tied up good enough.

Still have to be a tiny bit careful.

Yep - agreed....props can definitely cause damage.
Anyone heard from Noah lately? That was such a bummer...happened just before the Midwest FLI, which he was planning to attend.

Yep, nothing in life is without some risk. Apparently falling out of bed kills 450 people a year in the US alone!

Spinning props do need treating with a lot of respect though...
