I hope that doesn’t hurt to do. it’s cool as hell to see but I’m unaware of how many rotor blade impacts a hollow bird bone can take

If I remember correctly the strength of these is quite low. They just spin really fast. They cannot even break skin and give you a cut afaik.

They can cut the shit out of you. They won’t sever a finger or anything with the stock props (some aftermarket carbon fiber stuff might though), but they’ll fuck up flesh.

The mythbusters tested this a while ago so things might have changed but even their heavy duty camera drone with carbon fiber could not go through bones if I remember correctly. Most drones will not seriously cut you or even break skin. The one in the picture definitely will not.

Just looked up the episode (2015, Ep8).

They’re investigating whether it would be deadly by cutting through your neck. Drone tech has also changed significantly in the last decade. They literally have trouble flying straight and level and hitting the neck of their dummy. But their main problem is the drone hits something and falls away. They put the same smaller prop on a stick and saw into a plucked chicken. Their bigger one did actually slice the neck open before falling away.

Modern drones have much more powerful motors. Do not randomly assume they will not cut you, especially if you grab them.
