Those propellers will cut you up pretty bad. Are eagle talons stronger than human flesh?

Yes, considerably stronger. They are one of the most deadly tools in the animal kingdom in fact.

The falcons hit their prey with their talons, at 200mph. Figure a Peregrine weighs 2-3lbs, that's a lot of force. Raptor talons are pretty tough.
