spinning blades next to body parts.    realizing they are just using scaled up drone parts.   I have had lots of propellers come off the drone for various reasons.

I gotta believe the parts are better quality than POV drones, and I agree I'd rather the blades be higher than the pilot - they currently look about a foot lower than the side of the enclosure.

But still - I'd give it a ride.

lol....”IF” a blade, rotor, twirly thing did come off it would definitely leave a mark

The semi entertaining someone told me after I bought a $40.00 carbon fiber hex copter kit.   You do know that you could make a square out of PVC pipe and mount the motors to it.   made a lot of sense and created the concept that anything could fly with some motors and GPS stabilization.

Hell yes I’d try.  Then again, if I got offered a one-way ticket to Mars, I’d be gone. Couldn’t come back, but who cares?  It’s Mars!

of course, it is a bit telling that they keep it low over water.

I saw this on one of the major networks, they called it a flying car....looks more like a flying boat.  Fake news and all.....

Yep, right up to the point where one of those blades comes off and turns you into a 21st century version of King Charles I.

You mean, about as cool as this?  I ran into this at the Evergreen museum last month.  Whoever flew this sucker was...brave
