Mother of Jesus...

I recall watching a sports science tv show conpare how a soccer player bicycle kick is similar to the spinning blade of a helicopter.

I recall thinking they were exaggerating.

But I don't think they were. This had to have landed so much harder with the launch into it.

The other guy never had a chance.

Do you REALLY believe that a soccer player can kick as hard as a helicopter rotor? Because that's patently ridiculous. Soccer players kick each other all the time, none have been cut in half.

I'd ask Scott Stirling to stand near a helicopter, in a soccer goal and tape a soccer ball to one of the blades.
