The idea is you cut the power to the drone & deploy the chute in one action. It's starting to look like expensive insurance now though, with no guarantees it'll work. There are a lot of variables to go wrong, like can you reach it in time, is there a good signal, will the chute deploy or get tangled, will you even be able to get the drone back if it lands softly but far away? If any of those go against you, you've lost even more money.
The odds of hitting someone are very slim if it's not a crowded place. I still haven't heard of anyone who's been hit by a falling rocket (firework) & they come down in the thousands at certain times of the year. How many drones fly away & crash to the ground? Not many. |
