ummm .. I did that to my friend and trying to catch a chunk of metal going 20MPH that has 2 fast fan blades is not a good idea. He actually slowed it down by kicking it a bit (not enought to damage it) and then jumped forward and used his hands to stop it. You can really get hurt trying to stop it.

It also now has a name now, it's called "Kamikaze". The reason is that if you don't stop it .. it will commit suicide. There are no brakes no controls and it's going 20MPH in a specific direction, so it's a Kamikaze... sorta.
