Wayyy below "idiot on a bicycle"
Time to stop the bullshit methink... Most of those dones can be used indoor and taken down by your average housecat...

Or crashing into you, possibly while driving or riding a bike. That's a significant hazard isn't it?
To be clear I am not saying there should be a ban on using these things everywhere. I am saying that they shouldn't be allowed to fly everywhere and that the people who operate them and pilot them need to be trained, tested and doing it properly.

Hockey puck weighs 156-170g and there have been everything from deaths to brain damage. SLR's weigh what...10-15 times more than that? Just saying it's probably not the best idea to let just anyone fly anything over people....especially crowds.
Also....karma is a bitch:

Most park in the big T have basketball ground and baseball area with net. I don't see football being forbidden either...

(With drag relatied to speed, and you need to factor in that pesky 9.8N per sumthing too)
Yea, it's ballistics... Like golf, airsoft, tennis...

Tell that to Google. But seriously, I think they are potentially so useful for so many things like inspection of buildings and structures, monitoring traffic, criminal activity and lots more that they should be flown over people. If aeroplanes and helicopters can be, then why not? It's just there needs to be regulation, training and certification.

Wage Slave wrote:Interesting. So still quite a lot to get sorted out both with the aircraft and the piloting/command and control. How far away do you think we are from being able to put drones to significantly more work?

That's a lot of bamboo and paper.

I also noticed a new addition to the signs at the snow monkey park last time I was there, no drones. Only in English, so we can guess who caused a problem and freaked out a pack of wild monkeys while they were having a relaxing bath.
