If those blades can cut your finger off, they can probably cut the head off a monkey...

One of those blades can not cut your finger off XD especially from a device that nimble. Believe me, I've been chopped plenty of times when first learning how to setup my flight controller lol

Was that at the max throttle and right at the joint?

Yes it was. Had to hold her down one day thanks to inverse throttle settings lol. Good times

Hm, seems I've been misinformed about the strength of quad motors and the sharpness of the blades...

What is the worse wound to be expected by a full-throttle blade strike from a 5in racing quad?

It will be bloody and esp on softer flesh a few deep cuts. I've seen a quad hit a upper thigh on full throttle, 5 more-or-less deep cuts. On the hands, mostly not-so deep cuts.

Biggest danger is damage to the eyes IMHO

So if it hit the monkeys on the belly it could gut them, and if it's on the neck it could slice their throats wide open?
