| Netting doesn't have to be very strong to be effective, all it has to do is fold the blades which it will do immediately and easily. Infact the netting is more efficient if it is a little loose. The netting used as the 3d masters is more than enough to arrest an incoming 90 with ease.

The net may be fragile in some ways, but will work perfectly for what it is used for in the picture ... which is to keep helis from attacking the spectators and the spectators from attacking the pilots 
Now, it's useless and ineffective (in most cases) for what it's not designed for, like say a gang of rabid, knife-wielding monkeys well the net is toast .... but a more realistic scenario - say, a wild flock of flesh-eating sugar glider babies, while not designed for that, the net may actually prove quite effective in shielding an attack on the innocent spectators.
