Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter

That takeoff attempt was subject to the Law of Murphy.
And subject to the laws of physics.

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter

I love how he just kinda spilled out from the chopper.

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter

Had this been dudebro, Chad, from Oregon, comments would be going a tad bit differently.
Yeah, I’m bummed.

Could of been a perfect opportunity to chant, “Black Lives Splatter!”

Who wants to start a ghetto helicopter fund?

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter

I dont think a helmet alone would've saved him here, a helmet and shoulder straps/seat belt might've though.

Unfortunate, but at least he died doing something pretty impressive, even if it was a little reckless in retrospect lol. Hopefully no one else got hurt by flying parts.

Cool video

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter

It looks like his injury was from his head hitting the front windscreen pillar. A helmet could have saved his life.
Slow it down, his head came into direct contact with the upper blades as they broke. You can see him come fully out of the right side of the helicopter and his head goes above the roof as the blade slants downward, the force knocks him back into the helicopter and as it stops he spills out the opposite side. Literally any kind of seat restraints would have prevented his death, no helmet needed.

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter

This one has it all.

Amazing title and it didn’t disappoint.

On a long enough timeline, your homemade helicopter will kill you. His wasted no time in obliging.

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter

A simple seatbelt would have saved this poor excuse for an engineer. Newsflash people..... HELICOPTERS EXIST ALREADY.....STOP TRYING TO INVENT THINGS WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE THE SKILLS !!!
p.s. unless you're making videos for us, then by all means go ahead...with our "blessings" of course
