Hi, as i was fixing the propellers, checking everything before i take off, one of the propellers boosted up, started working, cut my finger and stoped working. ( I did not have any connection to the remote controller it was inside the bag still ) not even connected to the phone.

Could somehow the wind make the propeller start ? I have no clue how did that happen.

wow that is weird.

usually i would turn the remote on first as the normal sequence before the mavic to turn on. i think it's better to practice that protocol in the future even if you're not planning to fly.
i've been hit by both the stock and low noise props. i would say the low noise ones cut nastier with the thinner blades. I think at some point we all will get hit with the props.

Hi, we are so sorry to read about your unpleasant experience with the unit. We sent you an email to further check on this. Please check later. Thank you.

No idea what went wrong.  You should always check the props before turning on the drone.

Check the props before tuning on the drone and switch on the RC before the AC

Always start up remote before the drone. And switch off the remote as last.

i was checking at the props, the drone was not even on while the incident happened.

I see - that is caused by the wind catching the prop - leave the props folded when doing a compass calibration/handling the drone then when level on the ground unfold them before arming the motors.

Oh wow... I can't see the wind spinning a prop hard enough to cut a finger like that.  Unless that wind was a hurricaine.  I agree.  Leave the props folded while calibration, but I just can't see the wind spinning them that hard.

Check out youtube - those blades spin very fast indeed and enough to cut skin - and it doesn't need to be a hurricane

Vid is prob fake.
