My husband got hit by a spinning prop!

(1/3) > >>

Rush:
It was just a little plastic 6 1/2 inch RC plane prop but it tore his hand up pretty good.  That little thing spinning at 1800 25,000 rpm can do some damage!  We went to the doctor who dressed it up and asked when he last had a tetanus shot. Despite profuse bleeding and his hand looking all chewed up, the doc said it’s all superficial and doesn’t need stitches.

You can’t be too careful with airplanes, even those little bitty radio controlled ones.

Edit:  Could have sworn he said 1800 rpm.  Today he said no, 25,000 rpm.  Huh?  How did I mishear that?

Jim Logajan:
Sorry to read of it happening. Sounds like he's been dealt a bad hand. Expect premiums on your RC airplane insurance to go up or even be denied for the next three years. He might be forced to fly naked.

We have a Purple Board Last member that did that to his foot with an RC model.

Wonder if he was barefoot?  Or did it cut though a shoe?

I believe he has sandals on.
