RE: Self taught flying - My diary / progress
Thanks jess,
like you i have hiked mountains, snowboarded off piste, sailed out to rough sea in a 14' boat and done a whole host of risky activities. All far riskier than flying a plane.
yes you could get a prop bite. I sliced my index finger on the prop at 15. Hanging open like a banana with the bone visible, not to mention two other deep cuts. Lots of stitches and im now very prop aware. But otherwise the chances of flying it into your own head are very remote to the point that in more likely to get hit by a car on the way home.
risk comes with all fun activities. You just need to minimise it as best as possible at the time.
