Looking at pictures of the “Scorpion,” many can’t help but notice the fact that the blades are completely unsheltered. As fun as it looks, one does have to wonder how safe is it to fly, as a small twitch means the difference between hitting the blade and potentially crashing. While the company advertises the protective driver’s suit as enough protection against a fast spinning blade and claim the “Scorpion” won’t lose balance if one of the four blades stops, skeptics are right to continue doubting, at least until more comprehensive tests are made public.
