[The Helper]

NEW YORK (WABC) -- A man operating a remote-control helicopter was killed Thursday when it struck him in the head in a park in Gravesend, Brooklyn.

Nineteen-year-old Roman Pirozek, Jr., of Queens, was flying the helicopter in a park near Bay 44th Street and Shore Parkway.

The young man's family returned home Thursday night and were met by neighbors with tears in their eyes.

"We are in shock because we are neighbors, we look after each other, we love each other, we care for each other," said Margarita Aviles, a neighbor.

Lol, you must be pretty stupid to hit yourself in the head with one of these.

Ngl I agree. It's called ducking.

Darwin award, perhaps?

That is so sad really!

Darwin award, perhaps?

Well, It takes quite a lot of skill to do what he did.

Well its actually quite easy to kill yourself with one of these. The problem is, you usually would be very careful when you use them. Of course, if you just run into these helicoptes then you are gonna get hurt badly; but who does something like that?

 

[FireCat]

Someone who doesn't know "you can get hurt?"
