I think it's more than fair to say flying in the right environment is a prerequisite with all dji drones, it is clearly mentioned in your manual.
So when we choose to fly in unsuitable environment we are taking a risk of something outside our control occurring, we must take some responsibility for this.
And while we don't expect the aircraft to malfunction and it shouldn't, because aircraft is then lost it becomes a case of trying to prove what happened and why, without aircraft and its black box it becomes impossible to be conclusive. In the first place it was not dji who flew in unsuitable environment.
"flying in the right environment" and "unsuitable environment", lets define then what is "right" environment and "unsuitable" environment. As far as I read here, not that I have read all posts, I can't see too many people trying to fly in what I will call "unsuitable environment". Of course, we have cases of "pilot" mistakes, but we have a lot of cases where the drone just gets "crazy" and fly away, drop as a rock from sky.
"Remember dji have offered full warranty to those", really? I may been reading the wrong threads then, when they offer ridiculous 30% discount, and most of the time, "sorry the drone crashed, not enough data, too bad when the drone has no power for some reason , drops , and is on the bottom of a lake.
"Regarding FAA I'm sure they would adopt a similar stance to dji regarding flying in unsuitable locations", yes they will do that after the first case when someone try to fly their drone on their back yard, and drop on some neighbors head, and make the news, like NY Times or Wash Post, and of course, after all the US military dropped DJI drones under privacy concerns, the actual power in place, is not going to be so in favor on products made outside US.
