Kinda sucked to have gone like this. Guy must be an engineering enthusiast, thrilled to share the project with his amigos.

I think I'll stop working on my home made parachute. This video was me second guessing.

That’s some quality workmanship, I mean the tail rotor that broke and caused his death. If only that wasn’t made In China...:(

~ The pilot's body was forced out of the cockpit thru the right side of the helicopter, because of his body wanting to stay upright and also because the cockpit was too narrow.
~ Then the bent main rotor blade struck his head as he was exposed to the right outside of the too narrow cockpit.
~ A seatbelt may not have helped in this case, per as his body remained secure in it's seat as it slumped out afterwards, but a security shield at head level or door may have.
~ Someone phucked up. Could have been any of his domestic engineers which didn't know how to properly align/secure the tail rotor mast & blades.
A torque wrench could have been used, etc., but probably wasn't.

I bet you are one of those types that needs a big red circle to tell you who the victim is going to be.

What are the fucking odds of that? Definitely unlucky

The tail rotor failed and smashed the main rotor which nailed the pilot. Unlucky. If that's the first time he spun it all up, he should have taken plenty of precautions.

The way it shredded itself it's like an elaborate paper plane.

The homemade helicopter, otherwise known as the bitchslap machine.

Result would be the same if that contraption took off.
