Bizarre slow-motion footage captures drones being catapulted at slabs of pork to study how the blades tear flesh

Love them or hate them, drones are increasing in popularity and there have already been incidents of propellers cutting and even blinding people. As a result, we are only just learning the true damage the propellers can cause. To study how the blades can tear through flesh, researchers have attached a drone to a catapult and fired it at a slab of pork in a bizarre slow-motion video. Researchers at a Danish University have rigged a purpose-built catapult to launch a hobby drone into the pork at high speed, recording the impact with a high-speed camera capturing 3,000 frames per second (pictured). Researchers at Aalborg University's Drone Research Lab rigged a purpose-built catapult to launch a hobby drone into the meat at high speed.
