Yeah I heard about this accident yesterday, my friend has the same trick level helicopter the kid had, I am not surprised by the decapitation. Most of those blades are usually made from composites or aluminum, I cut my finger open with little ease on one of my mini helicopters and it has a type of graphite blade.
Once they said it was a gas model it has me thinking the throttle stuck and the receiver malfunctioned or the fail safe module didnt kick in when the receiver battery died and it flew into him.
I had a gas rc car and got out of radio range for a second and the thing took off and literally disintegrated on a curb. I only drive electric now because of that. Gas RC models have so much power when things go bad they go really bad for either the people around them or the model itself.
