This happened when the engine was just at a high idle. This man tried to give the boat a kick so it would not run into the shore. He missed and the boat ran over the top of his foot. He had on heavy rubber wading boots but as you can see the propeller went right through the boot. It took over 200 stitches to put his foot back together and it is going to take follow up surgery to reconnect severed tendons. Do not run your boat if anybody is in the water and do not run it near any other full sized boats. Remember these things are not toys and need to be taken seriously. Use good judgment at all times.
i thought it was an education picture, with a clutch on the boat this wouldnt of happened, but i understand why rc boat racers dont like to use the clutches
EEEEEK that looks nasty and I thought helis where dangerous ..
