    What about that fancy thing that stops table saws when you touch them? Just get one of those and stop the rotors. I’m certain there’s no physical reason this wouldn’t work.

      The energy will have to go somewhere, so the passengers can stand up with their arms stretched, and when the rotating energy reaches them they can jump out and they will start spinning and their arms will act as rotors keeping them in the air long enough to reach land safely. You just need to make sure there aren’t a lot of people on board because the energy will have to be divided on all of the passengers, if there isn’t enough for everyone, they will fall to their death.

        If it requires the energy of the rotors being stopped suddenly to eject, there’s no chance of getting filleted
