His "mate" did it last Sunday ?
I saw that pic months or even years ago, it was tagged as a paper shredder accident (yeah right)...

no way that a model plane prop would do this, they hurt and can give a small cut, but won't do this unless someone was stupid enough to make a
metal prop, all i know are plastic or wood.
The ones that really hurt are the metal boat props, but they're small in diameter and therefore can't cut deep. But there most are plastic
these days.
Most incidents with airplane or boat props are black nails

Nah. Tosh as said.
I've stuck my finger in the fan blade on my car and it was a good cut right into the finger behind the nail. Was nowhere near as bad as that and
bled a lot more and wouldn't stop.

Don't under estimate the potenial of a model prop.
Check a small electric model a while back with a tacho.
34,000 rpm on a 4.7" prop.
that's a tip speed of 475mph
That will hurt.
I also saw the above picture posted as a shredder accident, even then was unconviced.

Anybody stupid enough to keep their hand there after the first cut ? From the picture you would have to have put your fingers in the shredder or
propeller one at a time to get those cuts.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Model plane props are bloody dangerous I witnessed a chap at my local club almost lose 2 fingers on a 10inch prop running 16000 rpm wasn't
pretty. Luckily he had a bit or skin left just holding them on which kept the blood flow going long enough to have them reattached. After 2 years he
still hasn't got full movement back.

I agree, ive seen a couple of nasty ones that made me feel sick, cut right to the bone, but only ever a couple of slashes before the engine stopped.
I dare say a pylon racing engine or a fast electric could be a lot worse, but that does look as if it happened some other way. It always makes me
cringe seeing other people reaching over the prop to take the glow clip off, one touch on your wrist with the prop tips and it could be game over!

The prop would hit you on the first revolution make a cut hit the bone and knock your hand away thats B.S.

Electric motors can be nastier than glow. If you block a prop on a glow engine, it will stall and stop, an electric motor will just try harder.

I actually did cut the end off my right thumb about 15 years ago with a model plane propellor - powered by a 5cc PAW diesel engine - I was adjusting
the compression and just turned my thumb into the propellor. It cut straight through just below the nail and was held on by just a flap of skin.
Luckily they were able to reattach it ok at the hospital, and the scar is almost invisible.
