Imagine if you were hit in the eye by a 40% Edge powered by a DA 150 spinning a a 32" CF prop at full speed. I think it's fair to say you wouldn't have to wonder if it would have to hit someone in the right place to kill them.

Status: offline 		I see your previous reply that my friend who spent 3 days in the hospital after being hit by a foamie has been deleted. Your comments that he probably stayed because he liked the milk shakes or the hospital kept him unnecessarily longer than need be was over the top. Guess that is why so many folks get sent home now same day they have surgeries that years ago required stays of days or more. You are over the top, if a point is made that interferes with your positions you either ignore it or make fun of it. I will avoid any threads that have your comments, they are a waste of time.

The answers are Yes and no.

I simply broke the no down to further identify reasons for no.


Now, lets all just vote.

Your poll is a hack with the comments.
