Today.. drone suddenly went to return home Hit a tree came flying down with sharp broken prop blades and flew into my hand

Yes I have had my leg sliced by the props on my Mavic lol. It had started to rain during my flight so I was landing in a hurry and must have let off the stick before it fully landed and it took off sideways right at me, hit me in the leg, bounced off me and crashed on the ground a few feet away. I'm not sure why it did that. Even if I didn't fully land it it shouldn't have come at me like that. But they don't always do what they're supposed to do.I have to say it stung. But I was sort of proud of getting a drone injury lol. It was nothing compared to yours though. I hope you're ok.

Is that a detached appendage or what? You have 10 days to report it...

(Studying for 107, sorry if redundant).

 

[Sniperfritz]

it depends on where you get hit on the body. a hit in the face and you will be bleeding .

Did you need stitches? FAA... if it just needed bandaids at home, no report necessary.

Well in Vermont we just super glue everything from paper cuts to chainsaw slips. But yeah i stopped the bleeding and it just has a nice penguin bandaid now

Yes. No big deal.

Looked like Freddy Kruger visited me when my Yuneeq Q500 decided to take off and hover inside my house when I first got it[emoji15]. I learned to never start or use in house with the blades on that day.....
I was picking up blade pieces for weeks after that. Those things are hard and shatter in a million pieces.

Happen to me only once. No blood just minor bruise on the hand. I was flying indoor it got dangerous close to the lamp. It was flying low. I grab it from the top to stop it crashing into the lamp. It was painful and then feel numb shortly afterward.
