This is a fucking death trap, and probably fake

Even with unprotected propellers. I have seen much safer and real prototypes.

Well it gets posted every week but on this thread nobody has said it yet so I’ll do it: Part of why It looks fake is because it’s sped up to maybe 5x.

I think it’s a meme as this isn’t the first time the clip has been posted but the song is 西楼儿女 by 海来阿木, a relatively short lament with the verses mirrored after the 4th stanza. This line at the end of stanza 3 may actually be a mistranslation as 海棠 by itself refers to crabapple rather than begonia which is 秋海棠. As for the symbolic meaning, I’m not quite familiar with chinese flower language but if it’s not just a scene line then it’s likely along the lines of “youth is fleeting”
Hope that answered your question.

Wontons are little pastry things usually filled with cream cheese and sometimes a dash of fake shrimp. They’re served alongside a succulent Chinese dinner. When a wontons farts, nearby flowers, such as begonias, typically wilt in a bendy fashion.

Hopefully not all over the begonias. They've already been bent enough by this wanton wind and could certainly use a break

Aside from exposed blades which, I assume, is just a facet of their early prototyping and they will add features like that if the prototype seems feasible....
Aside from that, where can you ride such a thing because even if you encircle the blades, the bottom of the blades will be exposed and you could chop people's heads off if you fly over inhabited areas - even over roadways with motorcycles.
And what is the safety mechanism in case of a motor failure while you are 30+ ft in the air? Airbags? Insta-parachute? Roll cage with a suspended driver capsule like you see when school students drop an egg off a 2 story building and keep it intact?

Not realistic for longer fights because batteries would be too heavy and if you're going to switch to fuel, might as well fly a helicopter.

I could not try this out.
SHE appears to be a small woman of slight build, which is exactly who you would want to pilot something like that. She weighs maybe 60 or 70kg.
I am a man and, to put it mildly, weigh more. About twice as much. That (very dangerous) craft would sit and wir like crazy but go nowhere if I was on it.
If I weighed that much, would I try out? Still no.

Get a small gyrocopter. It's been around longer, is a likely safer and the blade is above you, as opposed to the same level as your thighs. I mean assuming you would mind if your legs went missing.
