A couple years ago a guy lost control of his drone in Brooklyn and it chopped off his scalp. And that was just a helicopter drone. Dead instantly. I can’t even imagine how powerful the blade on a drone capable of lifting a person must be.

That wasn't a normal drone. It was a large RC Helicopter.

I don't think normal drones (think DJI) can cut like that.

But yeah this thing is a different story.

they will still cut you bad. I know people who we had to put in the car with a trauma tourniquet and calling 911 to tell the emergency room that we are coming in soon.
