If the FCC gets its way in the US this may happen...

 

Is that not a good thing? It will worm out the stupid incompetent operators with hefty fines etc etc.

Yes and no.

There have been model plane operators and clubs that have doing this for years successfully without the need and this can hurt that community pretty bad.

On the other hand it can/will curb the amount of idiots doing what has been happening of late.

This subject of putting regulations on something like this a very fine line.

I both support and don't support the idea as it needs to be done right and unfortunately today's governments are not exactly know for doing things right.

why was this twat flying a DRONE near PEOPLE?

 

It is clearly stated. DO NOT FLY FUCKING DRONES NEAR PEOPLE

 

You the pilot is the fucking responsible person.

Its like running someone over with a car. YOU CONTROL THE CAR. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING THIS VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL. IF YOU RAN OVER A TODDLER WITH A CAR. YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DIDNT DRIVE CAREFULLY ENOUGH.

 

 

defending drone pilots who do stupid shit is simply disgusting.

I never said it wasnt also the pilot's fault, relax buddy.

I just said its also the parents fault for having their kid hanging around near a drone, its just not smart, it'd be the same as letting your kid run out into the middle of the street.

if you read the article, it seems like this twat who flew the drone did so in a park or back yard, where a kid would naturally hang out.

parents cannot be blamed for poor judgement. we cannot lock up our kids with the expectancy that letting them go outside will cause their eyes to be gouged out by idiots doing stupid shit.

You don't (shouldn't) leave a 16 month old infant without supervision. That said, no one knows exactly what occurred once the drone hit the tree and "span around". Was the child right beside it? Did the drone have to fly some distance in order hit the child? 

 

"Clipped the tree and span around" is pretty vague, but once a solid object interferes (in this case a branch, perhaps) with the one or more of the rotors, it's nearly or literally impossible to regain control.

I think you need to read the guidance again it clearly states that 'The operator is responsible for avoiding collisions with other people or objects'

Hopefully the child will be able to receive a transplant.

 

I feel sorrow for the child.

I feel somewhat bad for the operator but he should have taken better precautions, it should be obvious this type of hobby can be dangerous BUT this why we have Darwin Awards.

That's not Darwin award material, the whole point of the Darwin award is to die doing something stupid before having kids.

The kid did not die, he only lost an eye, I doubt his vision is going to be good as he gets older.

 

"Kiddo"? Im 23 years old -_-

 

Unless you're 30 years old or older, you're still a "kid", not as a <10 year old "kid" though but you get the idea.

The stars died for you to be here today.

A locked bathroom in the right place can make all the difference in the world.

Ah well it could have been his own eye, but no matter point was made operator was/is an idiot.

Bingo.

 

Of course. Why should we go through the effort of doing something crazy like educating people on drone safety when we can just ban them and be done with the whole thing. 

Guns are totally safe though.

Totally. Guns protect people. Drones crash into things.

You know what's easier than buying and building a brand new PC? Petty larceny!
If you're worried about getting caught, here's a trick: Only steal one part at a time. Plenty of people will call the cops because somebody stole their computer -- nobody calls the cops because they're "pretty sure the dirty-bathrobe guy from next door jacked my heat sink."
