I'm just thinking about how much more guts it took to walk out on the propellor/fin/whatever you want to call it, to take the picture of this guy sitting.

I was like, "Eh, okay...that guy has some balls."

Then I read your comment and realized the guy/girl who took the photo really has the cojones.

Called a blade. He can't have a safety line on since there's nowhere to attach it. I don't know if it takes guts, just stupidity...

I should have Googled it, but I knew someone would know. Thanks!

I've helped design a few, so I'm pretty familiar.

That is awesome. I wish I got into engineering for this. Working on these behemoths just seems fun. I know the other guy is probably dumb for walking out, but I think I'd be tempted to as well.

Just a thought....could the grey portion in the bottom left hand corner indicate the picture is being taken through the window of a helicopter? I realize it'd have to be stupid close to the blade to get a picture like that...but that blade has to be locked for the guy to be on the hub anyway.

Working on them seems terrifying. Designing blades was interesting, I did an internship at a blade design firm. Left to work in aviation, but every now and then I miss it.

Definitely possible. I have no clue what that is. It did briefly enter my mind that it could be a quad-copter.

I love this technology. I was in a windfield in NY that had a number of relatively small ones. I stood directly under the blade and looked up as they came down at me. It's scary as there is no sense of scale. Just felt like diving out of the way.

I read it as wind blows and was wonering if that is some emergency position to prevent falling to ones death.
