I've never crashed my Autel, but I've crashed my Bayangtoys X16 many times and only once I needed a new part. I think having a cheaper drone to test skills is a must. The X16 is light and can take a fall without damage. As for peoples injuries, there are quit a few nasty cuts from drones on youtube. I'm sure someone has got a blade cut with an Autel.. I agree with Cori, pride will keep people from posting, but heck I've done some stupid things in my life, but I'm super careful around my drone.. Might come from flying RC Heli's. Anything that spins at these rpm's is dangerous.
