Phoenix-IT Senior Heliman Location: Dallas, TX
| I won't say that it can't, but chopping through a human limb is harder than it may seem. Butchers keep very sharp knives for a reason.. Muscle, skin and even bones flex, allowing them to absorb and distribute some of the force. This distribution of force is illustrated by the injuries we have seen that leave very large, even huge bruises. Solid objects will break more easily than tissue because they don't distribute the force well.
Before I get flamed, here is what I did NOT say: Helicopters aren't dangerous, in fact they are completely safe. The rotating blades have virtually no chance of injuring you or someone else. The idea that they have any chance of cutting, breaking bones or even killing you is ludicrous!  |
