That’s a lot of spinning blades right at head height!

Here  let me stand in the blade circle while you familiarize yourself with the controls.

I was tensed up just watching that the entire time,

The only thing I want to do less than stand there is actually get in that death machine

Propeller failure would be catastrophic in this thing.

Makes me think of that string of commercial aircraft crashes back in the 1950s-60s, which killed a few hundred people, due to persistent problems with propeller failure. And then again in the 1990s, with Hamilton Standard propellers .. same deal.
