What about a compliant guard? Designed to flex enough to share the impact load with the spokes.

I’ve been running this creation for a few months now. It’s taken a good few whacks and it hasn’t exploded yet.

Made from carbon fibre reinforced nylon 12 and annealed.

Can vouch for this space-age armour. Absolute class. Lightweight, unobtrusive fittings and protects the rotor and incoming human appendages from harm.
