He did have a smile on his face. He’s in his happy place.  |

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter
I applaud him. A man died doing what he loved. How many people can say that?

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter
even with aviation head gear, he would be toast with that blow... When I read "homemade helicopter" I thought he made some thing like a drone, but can be piloted remotely... Saw a kid make one on youtube and thought this was something similar  |

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter
It seems ridiculous to me that someone capable of building a pretty damn good looking helicopter wasn't capable of making sure the nuts and bolts were tight enough.

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter
a seat restraint and helmet "might" have saved him but in almost every single helicopter accident, a seat restraint and helmet are irrelevant . . . normally if you crash, the seat and helmet are wearing you for protection |

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter
Pretty unlucky with how he died. If he'd put doors on the fucker he might have lived. |

Re: Young Man Dies While Testing Homemade Helicopter
I wonder if that was his first test ever,,, makes me thing why would he not do this from a distance, its like testing a weapon with a freaking rope. it could go off and kill you ..
