If you suddenly pull the brakes of the motorcycles, will the blades cut your head off? I would worry about that before putting this out..

  Having inadvertently put my finger in a Parrot AR2 drone's blades, I strongly doubt decapitation would occur. "Ouch, that stung a bit" is more likely.

      This looks much more comparable to a Parrot than to the deadly helicopter you reference. In general, do manufacturers carry insurance for claims stemming from incidents like sticking one's fingers into whirling blades?

        No, the parrot is very lightweight http://ardrone2.parrot.com/ardrone-2/specifications/ http://ardrone2.parrot.com/ardrone-2/specifications/ And yes, it isn't the act of sticking the fingers into blades, it is its stated use of autonomously filming around a person. When I direct the camera to maintain an angle and elevation with respect to a target and it impacts that target, this is a liability problem.
