cool, but i don't think the motor cross armor and crash helmet would have done much if things had gone pear shaped.

I saw a video a couple of days ago, of a guy with a multi being used like a hover board, but I can't find the video now. :(

Yeah... I wonder what safety mechanisms they had in place on this. I'm thinking ejecting motor booms so you don't get sliced and diced if you start to tip off the seat. Maybe lexan shields on each boom to protect against feet and or hands or heads getting into the props. Something.

How about those blade arrestors they put on table saws?

Why not build this so the pilot is hanging underneath the blade line?

Seriously, one ESC failure, motor failure, blade/prop failure and the pilot is an episode of "24 Hours in the ER". Mega ginsu.

everyone says what I think. Need to encase those blades somehow before I get on it. I can see this being the new motorcross though.
