Hope they catch them.

I don't think I would call that an "Accident" that is GBH or similar and I hope the cretins that did that and then buggered off get caught and hung up by the goolies!

What a pair of stupid prats talk about the right way to get R/C Heli's Banned!!!!

[Sao]

That is sickening, she was pretty badly injured by all accounts.
I hope those responsible are caught and prosecuted and end up having a new one torn by bubba in the local jail.

[trvo]

I really don't understand how people can walk away from an incident like that, even if I was to be put in jail if I did that I could not run away. People like that don't deserve to have rights and I hope they are caught and the lady gets the justice she deserves.

shhhhhitttt fllyyer ..ppl shud learn to fly b4 they start to do 3d

Absolute pricks - Id like to lock them in a small room with an out of control 90 size heli - see how they like it.

At least the report seemed to focus on the stupidity of the guys rather than a 'ban rc helis' aproach...

And guy flying was wearing an Align T-Shirt!

To be honest, I dont think it was done on purpose, But anyhow, Who the hell in the right mind hits injures someone then ****'s off without a care in taught?

Thats bad, some people just dont realised how much damage heli's can do. I would never consider flying in a public place.

and IF it was done on purpose, then they need to be made an example of! (ie full force of the law)

I'd me amazed if it was done on purpose. I reckon they must have panicked and done a runner which is still utterly disgraceful.

depends if his mate was egging him on to get closer to her and he got a bit too close

I can't believe that, anyone with a brain wouldn't go near a person with a heli. I would give them benefit of doubt and say that she had walking into their 'flight area' and they didn't see her. The battery running out excuse is nonsense, those blades were 'powered' when they hit her (assuming it's an electric) and running off is unforgivable. Obviously just my opinion...

Well one thing's for sure, seeing as it's in the US... if it was those guys caught on camera leaving with helis tucked under their arms, they will have the s**t sued out of them!

[Tripler]

Sounds like they were using her to practice flying around and it went wrong
They should be banned (if caught) from flying anything in the future,
It would be nice to see someone from RR contact the lady or sent a letter
With condolences and explain that the majority of heli pilots are responsible people and don’t fly in parks or anywhere near the public.

Only takes a few stupid A***s like that to give this sport a bad name

There's a huge thread on Helifreak about this - Finless is baying for blood!
