  • wow, its a terrible accident from rc heli hobbyist and tnx for your hands on advise atleast a novice flyer could be aware and learn from your mistakes . An rc heli hobbyist is really expose in such accident especially if you dont have any idea with that toys as saying goes " little knowledge is dangerous". To all rc hobbyist keep on flying and continue practice because practice makes one perfect....

  • if feel bad for you but your a great man and posting this video, i will definently take your advice. Hope you are doing well today!

  • hope u back to 100%

  • i dont get why you would keep it so close to you and at this size dont you have to know about helis i mean dont you have to program it build it set up the servo's adjust the pitch and everything? at that point you should have some flight time under your belt to even get it off the ground.

  • or dont go buy a advanced heli when your a noob ass pilot.

    coaxial heli with shit blades for people starting out.

  • OH SHIT!!! A strong case for foam blades! NOOB HELI PILOTS... Use foam blades, not plastic or wood.. And for god sake no carbon fiber!!!

  • wow get better

  • thank for posting,get well soon

  • i wish you fast recovery

    guess, we all learned something important from your scars

  • Sorry lol.. people think these are toys.. but can cause serious injuries or death..!! recover soon.. and start fliying again!!!... :)

  • God bless you may you have a speedy recovery

  • jesus man that's brutal. what size heli was it?

  • good thing though it did not hit your eyes. Hope your ok now.

  • Is this helicopter electric? What size wont injure if it hits something

  • i had to sign in to see it and nuttin to see

  • Omg that sux

  • thats one lucky face

  • thanks for posting, I just made my son watch this video as living proof of what these big kid toys can do. I have been trying to stress the importance of safety first and the damage that an RC airplane/heli prop can do.

  • Dude glad you are alright had a close call ith my 550 and a dog.

    And for those getting into rc heli's Start Small he was hit with a 450 size a 550 and up will take fingers and hand or even your head ALWAYS GET TRAINING FROM A PERSON THAT KNOWS HOW TO FLY. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE THROTTLE HOLD DONT JUST THROTTLE DOWN!!!!!!

  • fell sorry for you me friend

  • Yikes !!!!! thanks for the warning...

  • I've been flying rc helicopter for two years and I've had one or two close calls.These small helicopter may seem harmless to newbies,but it is very capable of inficting serious injuries.Please use common sense when around these helicopters.

  • fuck! that cut your forehead right open, hope your alright, and was that a 450 size heli? cos if so, id better watch my arse

  • I just had an experience with the Solo Pro 180. According to the maker, it's all set up with the Tx they provide. Mine was WAY off and on the first lift off, it went right like a scalded cat. If it had gone left, it would have hit me in the face and I could have lost an eye or two. I DO wear glasses but that might not have saved me. 

  • Ouch

  • Was that a 400-450 size heli? I fly a blade 400 and trex 450 and I will fly further away now after seeing this video. I knew they could make a mess but DAMN! Hope you are all better now. Thanks for uploading this sobering warning.

  • shit!

    

  • @stealhty1,i really would have thought a fellow RC heli pilot would know better,i think your full of shit,i don't reckon a nitro would cut your head off,however feel free to prove me wrong.... ;)

  • Picture this if you will,you buy your first Collective pitch RC heli thinking it'll be easy....you take off,if you didn't already slam it sideways into the ground without even taking off..you lose control within seconds (as if you had it in the first place right) the heli smashes into some kid playing blinding them for life..but don't worry too much,you don't have very long to feel like shit,cos there's the kids old man with a shovel and im pretty sure he's gunna want to kill you,i know i would!

  • @SICSEMPERTYRRANNIS As i was laying down in the garden with blood everywhere I could see my wife in the corner of my eye smashing the helicopter into small pieces, I came home to find a pint or so of blood and about 100 small pieces of plastic in the garden, the plastic surgeon managed to pull out two pieces 3mm long from my skull.

  • hope yer ok dude that was a nasty injury~ wow >:)~ glad your trying to promote safety!! props! >:)~

  • OWW Scarey

  • jezus christ dude.. 

  • many people out there are unaware of how dangerous Rc heli's can be and just think this was only a 450 sized with not much power! And people wonder when i am flying my Trex 700E that spins at 2200rpm's in idle up to please stand back, even as though i am an experienced pilot who has been flying 3D for 4 years if somthing mechanically goes wrong you want to be at a safe distance so you can hit throttle hold, also many hours of practice on the simulator!! RC HELICOPTERS ARE NOT TOYS!!!

  • bloody hell mate, i have one of these and i am aware they are dangerous but never realised they could do this much damage. glad you didnt lose your eyes. your uploaded video will serve as a harsh warning to all so thanks for posting it.

  • VERY sorry to see this and glad your here to make this video.I try telling people that a 450 size heli can kill someone or come close to doing so.I have a video on my youtube where my 450 hit my hand about 3 day's ago.Was lucky because I hit throttle hold right when the tail hit.If I didn't hit TH and the heli jumped in my face or chest,I could of been posting a video like this or not able to.Again,glad your here and hope this open's people eye's .Recover fast and keep moving forward....

  • this is why i stay with land rc's and not air

  • are you blind now

  • @daditown That would make it kinda hard to edit video, I think...

    He's not blind. The rotors hit the tip of his nose, again just above his eyebrows, and it looks like a third time right at the hairline. Nasty, but it missed his eyes completely. Lucky...

  • @daltonultra 100% spot on, and the editing comments was genius.

  • @MrSThayer I had to look a couple times before I was sure, myself. That was a singularly nasty wound... Glad you came through relatively intact.

    Unfortunately, my wake-up moment came at another's expense, when my RC truck took a bad flip off a ramp and wiped out my friend's 6yo son. Thankfully, he was holding a camera in front of his face, so he didn't take the truck directly to the face. He was FINE, thank god, but I've been paranoid about spectators ever since.

  • ooooh shit man, if everybody gets to see this im sure the RC world would be a thousand times safer!! that shit looks so bad, i would hate that happening to me, and good for pointing out to the inexperienced and the advice for prevention, good on you and hope you recovered well!

  • omg! what if it was a 700 or a 600. what if it was nitro.

  • ouch ouch ouch!!!! what a very misfortunate moment you got into. ...and with these things all it takes is a moment. I hope you have recovered and start easy over again...

  • You weren't "stupid". It was an accident.  A mistake.

    Hope you will get well soon. Wishing you all the very best and a quick recovery.

    Perhaps after a short while - consider flying once again. A bit further away next time .................. :-)

  • @MrHelidude Many Thanks.

  • NO SON JUGUETES

  • Man I seriously hope your OK.

    OMG looks so Indescribably painful!!!

    I can get why you aren't flying rc helicopters anymore...

  • Comment removed

  • Shit man... I feel sorry for You. Hope You're OK and not looking like an Frankenstein Monster ! I wish U better luck next time !

  • @Shaweezz No need for face paint this Halloween. The scars have healed exceptional well, though I still have no feeling in my forehead, nerves completely shot and haven't repaired as yet.

  • Goddam!!! Im gona build a plexiglass bomb shelter for my next flight !! Hope you are ok

  • @MrSThayer,at least you were the only one that payed for your mistake,i say this with respect although it may not seem like it.hope ya ok mate....alot of people don't realise the learning curve with R/C heli's,there not exactly difficult to fly,but wrapping your head around the set up and controls takes time

  • @MyDucatiGT1000 Cheers, your not wrong.

  • One word: Goggles

  • OOWWWW MY EYES... No seriously my eyes hurt after watching this

  • BS thoses blades couln"t cut you that deep,you have to see the size of my nitro helicopter it chop your head right off

  • @stealhty1 Are you an idiot? A guy cuts up his face, has the courage to warn others, and you say BS that a 450 can do this?

  • Ouch bro, hope you healed up ok

  • That's a real shame bro - I hope you have healed up ok. Thank you for posting this, really needs to be put out there just how dangerous these R/C helicopters can be. Cheers, Luke

  • So, what happened here? Was it pilot error or parts malfunction. I had an accident myself and it was purely my fault.

  • @VentureTact 100% completely user error - not experienced enough to be flying in close proximity.

  • sorry to hear that man hope u feel better

  • Wow..hope you feel better! What size/kind Heli was it?

  • @SICSEMPERTYRRANNIS Feel fore them they suffer from a symptom called Advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcissistic rage :( :) :) :) :) :B :B :B :{)-[---<

  • the blades of my lama v3 splitted into pieces (dont know why actually, maybe a crack in the blades?) and i got hit in my arm, the blade was stuck 2 cm in my flesh o_O

  • Hope you get better and lets all be carefull.

  • imagine if it hit your neck could of cut a big artery be dead in less than 2 min or cud of hit eyes these big helicopters seem well dangerous how much damage could a palm size 4 channel heli do?

  • wtf your forhead is sliced open i dunno how you managed to make dis video but its... stupidly AWESOME!!

  • o mi god that was so bad :( 

  • OMG! I almost bought one for my five year old!!! THANK YOU, and so so so sorry, that looks awful, hope it heals well, massage after full healing helps with scarring, theres also balms that help

  • @LittleRedWren You gotta be kiddin me. Buying a 450-size heli for your 5-year old? Have some common sense...

  • that looks really bad, take care of yourself nextime :)

  • Comment removed

  • im never getting on a helicopter.

  • OMFG!! THAT MADE ME SHRINKS TO MY CHAIR AND FELT COLDS I HATE BLOODD!!

  • I'm glad u r still alive and shared this bad experience to us.. Take Care Life is short if u do that again lol

  • at least you learned your lesson and like you said it didn't hurt your kid or somethin

  • DUDE! you was look it didn't cut your eye out!

    Does it remains any scar in you nose?!

  • @japan11march Big scar across the eye brow, the scar on the nose has nearly gone, you can still feel the ridge but thankfully the red scar has gone.

  • @MrSThayer i bet it hurt like shit too.. my mom got a bullet from a bebe gun in her eye sh looks pretty normal at least she got dye for her pupil

  • @MrSThayer

    you are a even lucky bastard as well there are loads of vids on rc injuries and life threating injuries from them if your was electric fuck knows what a nitro one and a

    petrol one will do to your face fuckkkk!!!! how much blood did you lose

    it must have been a pint of blood atleast

    this hoby is good for peaple who like flying things but it comes with your own life and otheres around you and it needs to be respected

    thank got this wasent a nitro nitro

  • 0:35 just puked lil bit

  • @abcmanTR3V0R LOL

  • hope you feel better soon.

  • Dude... I've never been in a Surgery and so my question is... Were u awake the whole time?!

  • @nightshadow7451 The plastic surgeon said that because the wife had given me sugar to stop me fainting I would have to wait 6 hours before surgery and then stay in for 2 days, the other option was to work on me straight away but I would have to stay awake the whole time, I took the 2nd option, which is how the wife got the chance to take a few photos. I've never felt so much pain, the kind that makes you scream uncontrollably.

  • @MrSThayer my friend stuck her hand in a blender and only got stitches and my other friend shot their eye out and has a prostetic

  • Fuks jak nie wiem że masz oczy,but what about copter???

  • haha love the title

  • In the thumbnail he looks a bit like a masked and bloodied X Man super hero

  • good u didnt slice ur nick or ur eyes.

  • @thelastemperor88 with what it did to his HEAD, it would of surely killed him if it had got his neck! ooooooooo. I don't want a RC heli now... NO NO NO.

  • @wwjoshdew yeah man, no more RC heli, this video really scares me

  • ooo shit, feeel bttr, that loooks very painfull

  • Hope you're better man, gruesome!

  • Minimum protection - chain mail covers for your thumbs (RC'ers most valuable assets)

    Optional - carbon fibre codpiece

    Or the ultimate - an all over shed ensemble - with handy toughened glass window

  • OUuUUCHHHH!!!!!

  • poor thing :( at least u are alive :)

    hope u are ok now

  • AHAHAHA! lol that was great. really tho im glad it was you and not ur kid

  • Buddy I hate it for you, at least that cut was above your eyes. Don't feel too badly though...I screwed up my skydive last July, nearly killed myself, but got off with just a broken leg. I am just now walking on one crutch instead of two. I hope you recover quickly and get back to it. We learn from our mistakes. I sure have and I'll jump again ASAP.

  • @PotatoGunsRule i feel somewhat thankful I got the cuts and not the broken legs, though I cant hide my cuts under trousers, dam you RC heli

  • Get a water gun at least or a RC Car. RC Helicopta need recalling

  • Metal helicopter wings and a face. thats that happend

  • oh wow lol tht it hit u nt tht it cut u i feel sry for u\

  • Ouch :o/ Hope it heals fast!

  • DUDE THIS IS GRAPHIC SHIT WHAT THE HELL

  • You should stick with a Micro 3ch.

  • Lol da hell u do?

  • @Scottypowpow imagine this, heli is coming closer, it reaches your shins, rather than throttling it down I maxed it (accidentally) straight vertically up, hit my face at 90mph in 3 places. Blood everywhere,

  • God bless you brother. I'm sorry about what happened. Ouch! >.<

  • dude next time play n a box

  • @FireDankPS3 i know what your saying.

  • @MrSThayer yo u should buy a like glass box though so u can play with it

  • Haha, thats funny

  • i bet you won't be playing with rc helicopters for a while lol hope you feel better

  • @cravedave01 never again, gives me shivers when i see Rc helicopters.

  • @MrSThayer shouldnt your cut open forehead make you shiver too anything gross makes me shiver like this kid who came over and had had half of her body burnt up her face her legs and stuff she was stupidly playing with a lighter while wearing a sweater they had to rip off skin from her back and put it on the burnt parts >_< GROOSSS *shivers* and another time a kid stuck her hand in a blender and it turned on blood everywhere :L

  • @FunnyCrazii Fortunately I was awake during the OP but couldn't see my face until after the surgeon had finished, the wife decided she would take a few photos before the stitches were sealed to remind me not to play with toys.

  • @MrSThayer afraid of rc helis? imagine what a car could do. and every idiot can crash those and keep going.

  • @illidur

    Hey, that's so true - and I never looked at it that way. Hope he will recover quickly and get back in to the hobby once again. 

  • @MrSThayer just buy micro helicopters ;) those have flexible blades an don't hurt that bad

  • @Paulcarracer My mates brought me a heli soft toy

  • i thought it was going to be like chucky or something.. wow i hope your ok

  • Shat dude! That's crazy!!!

  • ouch! thank God it did not hit your eyes! keep on keepin on..

  • Geez that looks really painful! It could have been worse though (gotta keep up the optimism!)

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
