Did you see this damage done by an untethered airplane after startup?Apparently his throttle servo was possibly reversed . http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...33#post2700333

Holy Crap!!
That guy has serious injuries! That could of cut his arm off, he's lucky to still have the arm.
Hearing of an injury is one thing, seeing the photos sends shivers up my spine.
How many of us have done the same, a reversed throttle servo, I did, was lucky, no cuts. But it scared the hell out of me.
God it's been a horrible season for injuries.

Drives home to myself the Pit safety lessons I was dishing out on Sunday. Can never be careful enough. Safety is number 1.
