Did anyone see this?Comments?!

Wow Hopefully this won't affect those who want to continue to use Drone for Broadcast! It happens. In football games they use cable cams.... They have had incidents where they failed and hit the ground.  So its part of the Sport! Hopefully they can determine the issue and be able to share with us. This might be a good excuse for the FAA to bother us with negative attention making it harder for Drone OPS!

Idiots cause problems.

People who don't know their gear make mistakes and hurt people.

It's the same story with any mechanical thing.

Yeah... more of a bad publicity, no comments....

I did see that. It was a big X8! Not good!!

No it was a standard lipo battery!

And it was cold which made it even worse for the battery's. I understand it was CNN ran. 6 or 8 blades and came very
Close to hitting him. It would have hurt bad. They stopped their use after that one. The operator could have stayed to
The side instead of right over head, however when someone's going that fast they have a hard time keeping in front
Of the person.

Just kidding

People holding big cameras on the sidelines get hurt/hurt people as well. It's just the nature of sports.

Yah I posted this incident awhile ago, this is very bad press for us and we will probably never know what happened

I thought so but was not sure. Goes to show all lipos can fail not just smart ones. I think guy that have never flown anything but DJI forget that.
