On September 5, 2013 19-year-old Roman was pulling a stunt with his toy helicopter at a Brooklyn park when the device flew into his head at high speed.
The blades sliced through his skull killing him instantly.

Weeks after his death the internet is abuzz with comments and opinions on how this tragic accident could have been prevented.
Some are calling for a complete ban on toy helicopters!
