Man killed in radio-controlled helicopter accident
snip

People getting killed by R/C models is pretty rare but not unheard of. A
pylon caller was killed a few years ago when a racer cut the corner too
close and the model hit the chain link fence the caller was enclosed in.
The engine went through the chain link and hit the man in the head, killing
him.
I've seen and heard of a lot of people getting hurt with R/C models but
getting killed.... well, I guess you could say that was the ultimate "bad
day." I believe it would safe to say it was that guys time to go....
Cheers,
