A 19-year-old man playing with a remote control helicopter in Brooklyn lost control of it, sliced off the top of his own head and died Thursday afternoon, law enforcement officials said.*

The helicopter enthusiast, identified by officials as Roman Pirozek Jr., and his father were in Calvert Vaux Park at Shore Parkway and Bay 44th Street in Gravesend.

Pirozek also sheared off part of his shoulder, officials said.

Witnesses told detectives Pirozek was performing a trick with the model helicopter when something went wrong, according to law enforcement officials.

The model helicopter was worth about $2,000.

Sources said friends of the victim told investigators he often performed risky tricks with model helicopters.

Pirozek's neighbors in Woodhaven, Queens said he worked at Kennedy Airport and was a quiet but "really good kid." They said he and his father flew model helicopters almost every weekend.

Pirozek's social media accounts were filled with references to his hobby of flying remote control helicopters. On Aug. 25, he wrote on his Facebook page, "Great day for flying, the new frame brace is working great, breaking in some new packs I just got, they are the best that I have flown so far and loving them."*

Pirozek graduated in 2012 from the High School for Construction, Engineering and Architecture in Queens, according to his Facebook page.*

His classmates voted him as "Most Likely to get ahead in life."

Great...a twilight Zone Reboot.

where's Penz with the airwolf MS Paint reenactment?

Chip off the old block...

Damn, I had no clue a remote control helicopter would be big/strong enough to slice all the way through a human skull. That had to be horrible for the father to witness.

Does the FAA investigate something like this?

The black box must be the size of a quarter. Gonna be hard to find.

Bloomberg ready to ban toy helicopters now

ban assault toys

Drone?

To the watchtower

Seriously... how the **** would a toy chopper be that strong?

Metal rotor blades and major engine and speed control enhancement.

Damn that just makes your head spin.

Elway never was smart. Thinking he was going to leap into the endzone from the 8 yard line. He already had the first. Just plain horse sense right there.

I used to be a model flier like you, but then I took a chopper to the head.

Chiefs and Chopper, Chiefs and Chopper, Chiefs and Chopper!!

an article I read this morning said his neck was cut, not that he was scalped.

Right off the top of my head, I can't remember what happened.

This is the exact same thing I though of when I read the OP.

Well CP had a Chipper, now we have his long lost brother Chopper.

Always was an open minded fellow.

Yep terrible. Best wishes to the family. RIP.

Vic Morrow approves of this story.

I'd love to see this on 1,000 Ways To Die
