These aren't really 'toys'. They stop being toys when you buy them from the model shop instead of the toy shop. Couple of incidents from my youth: A good friend of mine had a couple of bones smashed in his ankle after a fairly innocent looking Yokomo MR4 TC ploughed into his leg at around 40mph. Hospital, static cast, crutches for 2 months. No prop and wasn't even airborne. Model rockets: these are the worst. I nearly killed someone with one after a fin snapped off (due to putting a E engine in a low D rated rocket) and it basically lost stability and went sideways missing someone's face by literally 3 inches. It had to be dug out of the mud due to the impact force. This particular chopper incident was probably the guy being an idiot. I've seen it before. They hover their choppers inverted and do stunt rolls about 6 feet away from their heads. One bit of wind or a miscalculation and this happens. However, we shouldn't stop playing with these things. We should just put safety first.
