The Bare minimum would be to wear steel toe boots.. AND stand off to the side of the road.

He was asking for it.

Always stand to the side. I'm gonna assume this guy is fairly new to hobby grade RCs and the power they have. I absolutely would NOT stand directly in the path of any of my rigs. The bumper on a Senton going at full throttle could do some serious bodily damage.

It's a bad day when you run yourself over.

It's even worse when you have a front splitter like on the Infraction 6s. We're talking about 60+ MPH - that thin plastic, carbon fiber, or aluminum splitter, depending on what you have on your vehicle, can do more serious damage than a flat bumper.

My Gorgon took a bounce in an unexpected direction a couple of weeks ago and caught me in the shin, I can't imaging getting hit by a fast mover with a splitter!

That splitter becomes a knife at speed.

Holy crap! Either that was intentional or this was literally like his second time in life ever driving a RC. That for sure would've caused some bodily harm.

That Jeep was MVP that day, in the comments they said the Traxxas servo gave out... IMO It would be nice if TRX included better stock servos. Stockers still plastic geared?

Servo giving out could very well explain that situation. Stock Traxxas servos are still plastic geared smh. That Jeep was the real hero that day.
