Larger drones have carbon fiber propellers. Sticking a body part in the props at full speed is like sticking your hands in a blender [0]. Intuitively it seems you'd still break talons if you stuck them in a blender even if you covered them in leather gloves.

Seems like this would work pretty well for micro drones though.
