Queens Dude Dies After Being Decapitated By His Remote Control Helicopter
NY Post – A Queens teenager’s obsession with high-powered model helicopters ended in gruesome death yesterday, when one of his beloved toy whirlybirds spun out of control in a Brooklyn park and scalped him, sources said. Roman Pirozek, 19, — a chopper aficionado who bragged about his exploits on YouTube — was piloting the small machine at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend at around 3:40 p.m., when something went horribly wrong, cops said. The toy aircraft turned toward the teen as he tried to pull off an unusual stunt. It hit him at high speed with the rotors spinning into his head and taking out “good chunk,” law enforcement sources said.
I’m flying my RC helicopter honey take a pic aaahhhh I’m dead!
Probably gonna have to declare that the worst way to go. I think it dethrones the dude in Brazil who died when a cow fell through his roof and crushed him in his bed. Scalping yourself with your own remote control helicopter. Nerd decapitation. Although I’m not surprised. You ever try to fly those toy choppers from Brookstone or Sharper Image? Fuckin impossible. I think I got those things like 5 Christmases in a row and never once figured out how to actually fly them. I’d get it off the ground for like 10 seconds before it just smashed right into the ceiling or plummeted out of the air. I can’t even imagine what its like trying to fly one of the official ones. Then all the sudden you try to get cocky with it and pull off an “unusual stunt” and next thing you know half your head is gone. Its just the risks one takes when they decide to be an extreme remote control helicopter pilot.
