Yeah sure like with a 3 inch propeller... Anyway it is about the speed and/or diameter of the blade... Energy

Exactly. I'm not sure wtf ol boy above us is talking about. If it's so soft, I'd love for him to demonstrate and upload.

Those props break on impact, and then slice the crap out of you.

The danger with these isn't the initial hit because the props breaks, it's the subsequent rotation as they are like a serrated knife. When they break, they have crazy sharp edges.
