Fireteam Girl dodges airborne fireteam like spiderman.

Full video if interested.



Scariest moment of my life tbh and I wish I could buy her some ice cream or something because she saved my ass from a lot of problems I would have had to face if she didn't dodge it. Definitely learned my lesson about being more cautious with checking my blind spots.

Be safe out there people!

Yikes!
For sure triple check before any jump that will cross a sidewalk like this.
Would be ideal to have someone there as a spotter to help block traffic as the RC car is coming....

 

[TimePancake]

She's definitely got the spidey sense!! 🕸

 

[Smilinbri]

Duuuuuude.......you are sooooo lucky!!

 

[jkflow]

She does not know how lucky she was and that is a good thing.
Scary as f$gg.

This is why people complain when they see rc cars at the public parks

 

[norcalsc]

oooh, that is the last thing you want to have happen. your expensive RC car just got REALLY EXPENSIVE

Gotta be honest - as a father, this pisses me off a bit. I know it was an accident but you should really be more careful.

And then you say she saved you from problems by dodging it. This is about her safety, not your problems.

Come on man.

I feel ya bro! I had a very similar situation last year. Almost hit a Mt biker that popped out of a blind trail entrance/exit right as my K8s was coming in for a sketchy landing in the exact same spot. I about myself!!!

Once second no one’s around, next second disaster is about to unfold!

15 lbs with sharp corners, going 30mph, to the head, that could be life changing. You were both lucky.

Us MTBers know how to bunny hop .

JK I have been fairly luck with only one close call with people.

Same feelings here as a parent. At the risk of piling on, I find the short to be in somewhat poor taste.

We have to be vigilant about our surroundings when bashing otherwise not only do people get hurt, but venues for RC'ing become off-limits from negative experiences like this.

This post seems a bit unnecessary to me and it appears your emotions are getting the better of you. I clearly stated that the experience taught me a lesson and that I need to be way more careful. I already acknowledged that so there is no need for you to come at me with such hostility. I also thought it was obviously about her safety which shouldn't even need to be said. Probably why I didn't? No one wants to see anyone get seriously injured by a situation they caused. Let alone a little girl, you have no idea what it was like. I could have damn near killed that girl and it still spook the hell out of me.

Seriously, that sidewalk doesn't get used that often when were out there so I think I got too comfortable. Never again.

Aye. I see this as the cautionary tale it was intended to be. It's obvious this scared the crap out of you and I'd wager a year's salary that nothing like this would ever happen to you again...so I don't understand the need for finger wagging. Thanks for sharing and illustrating how quickly a fun day out can turn bad...but without anyone getting hurt in the process.

Thank you for getting it. I remember maybe a week ago I made a post referencing this incident. Back then I said something like not even being sure if I was going to post the video because it had spooked me so much. The wifey convinced me to do it as a way to just let others know how fast things can go from fun to "omg noooo" real fast.

I so know that feeling of impending doom. I was doing a low inverted pass over the runway with my rc plane when this lady and her little boy stopped to watch, the little boy stepped right out into the middle of the runway at the last second I had a choice, I had to ditch the airplane or nail the kid, obviously I plowed the airplane. The mother was totally oblivious to the danger her son was in. I walked out picked up the pieces and was carrying it back to the truck and the little boy asks...hey mister, are you going to fly that again? I replied not today. I could only envision what would have happened if I had been slower on the sticks.

I think it's far too easy to Monday morning quarterback situations. You could have buried this and never said a thing. But you did the difficult thing. You put it out in the public space and said, "Hey, I screwed up and here's how it happend...don't let this be you" and you owned your . You made no excuses. Tip of the hat good sir

This is the most important part of that scary near disaster.
