When Props Attack (warning: graphic)
Seen on another forum (this didn't happen to me!), thought you guys might be interested:
I was cut pretty deep today by my E-flite Cap 232 BP running a E-flite park 450 motor.
I just built this plane and had the battery plugged in to adjust the throws. I was holding it in my hand when I accidentally bumped the throttle to full power. I managed to hang on to the plane but it swung around and the prop cut my forearm.
The injury required a good long visit to the ER, 13 stitches and it cut clear down to the tendons but luckily didn't slice through any (which would have required surgery if it did).
Pictures here for the squeamish:
