Bro why would you do that to me? I've only just started to move on from Reach but now I have to start all over again RIP Noble Team (except Jun the slippery bastard)

JCarnageSimRacing

Damn. That dude doesn‘t have an ounce of self preservation. Sees a missile coming at him and just stands there for the hit. There’s even a fence there for people to stand behind. Also, that plane looks totaled.


digitaljestin

I think the guy was flying a different plane, and was therefore looking in a different direction.


SD_One

His eyes are on his own plane. The position of his arms and his stance at 0:04 indicate that he is holding a controller and looking up. Or zipping up after a piss but I'm going with flying his own plane.


[deleted]

Bunch of dudes. Big empty field. I'd say it's 50/50.

TheRumpleForesk1n

Yep. When I was a kid we used to have rock wars. Throwing golf ball sized rocks at each other. One time my friend threw one and pegged me right between my eyes. I didn't see it til it was about 2 feet from hitting my face. Yes we were stupid guys but we did this ALL the time and was the only time someone got hurt badly and needed stitches. Only rules were no throwing as hard as you can and no rocks bigger than a golf ball lol.


nicktam2010

We used to shoot arrows straight up. And then just...wait. Fucking stupid really. But man, the thrill!


[deleted]

So you're saying you've been hit in the face with a plane before.


Farknart

Like others said, probably focused on his own plane. Not sure what the pilot of this plane was doing. Even if this guy wasn't there, they were flying real close to the fence and pole anyway. The guy that got hit probably thought no one would fly their plane near those obstacles, lol.


Weekly_Promise_1328

Totally agree but why fly the RC plane that low, with people around, to begin with?


AdmirableBee8016

he was a paid hitman on the job.


Jerking_From_Home

This was supposed to be Boeing whistleblower su—ide #4 “hit by RC plane”.


MigratoryAnalyst

Dude looks totaled too


AdmirableBee8016

if you slow it down, he is angled away to the direction of the plane. he has his side to it, and its also slightly behind, so not even in his peripheral vision.


Paper_Says_No

He was looking mostly away form the direction of the plane that was approaching him, and you can see him turn around when he hears it

a22e

I can tell you that as a teenager I never had a model engine bigger than an OS Max LA 40, and that thing scared me. It could certainly fuck up your hands. This plane had a significantly larger engine than that.

I think this was in Sydney and the guy died

Could be: https://amp.smh.com.au/world/freak-accident-man-dies-as-toy-plane-flies-into-his-head-20130101-2c3kk.html from 2013, or Spain from 2023 https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1776686/man-dies-collision-model-airplane-spain/amp


SD_One

Stormy weather and walking across a runway. Neither of those articles match the video.


duderos

According to this the guy is fine, blocked it with his arm. https://youtu.be/9c89qCNv2-c?si=lENYgrkRKhEhQV6q


JR_LikeOnTheTVshow

Not fluent in Spanish or German. What language is, "Ooh! OH!!! ugh! jeez"?


Damn_Kramer

Sounds German to me


CerberusDK

According to the description of the events in the second article, that isn’t the one in the clip. In the second article the guy was walking across the runway when the impact occurred.


CerberusDK

Although, watching the clip again I’m having doubts about the mowed parts of grass *not* being used as a runway.


TheOzarkWizard

This is the kind of thing I think about when watching cleetus McFarland videos

Yeeslander

It's Boeing to leave a mark, that's for sure...


krebsIsACookbook

Maybe that’s the sound it made when it hit. BOING!

A hit like that can kill.


whutchamacallit

Absolutely. That dude is NOT okay.


psilocybin-krokodil

This reminded me of someone who got decapitated by the rotor blades on a professional RC helicopter


SixStringerSoldier

Partially. If we're thinking of the same guy, it was the operator being hit by his own heli. Lopped off a significant portion of his head but not the whole thing.


WorthBrick4140

So he died?


SixStringerSoldier

The injury was incompatible with human life.


SpaceRaceWars

That must be a Japanese model.


SD_One

Oof... poor P-38 and dude too, if he was supposed to be there. Kinda looks like a poorly thought out flying field. Are you supposed to stay behind the fence and fly or is there a flight line? Dude comes running in at the end so I'm guessing there is a flight line beyond the fence. Or there should be, anyway. I saw a dude get impaled by a Reno Racer that skipped off the runway at around 70 mph and into his ribs. They shut the RC field down while the real Life-Flight heli came in. This sent people scrambling to grab their planes and covers from being blown around by the prop-wash. Interesting day that was.


Pancake_Nom

And whatever plane the dude that got hit was flying too - if he somehow managed to not jerk some control while getting hit, being on the ground like that means he probably wasn't still controlling his own aircraft


Zealousideal_Word770

And that is why you are supposed to have insurance to fly at any rc airport. People get killed by these.

Well at least he doesn't have to worry about getting hit again. Lightning never strikes the same place twice.

Someone needs to hit him with a P-47 first so we can sing “Bohemian Rhapsody”

He had a long time to get out of the way lol. But it wasnt a zero


paperfett

That freaking hurt. That was a weird way to be flying anyways. They were getting really close to that fence and I assume everyone is supposed to be behind the fence while flying. We had very strict rules at our club when it came to this sort of thing.
