The canon story is hilarious :)<p>I&#x27;ve seen drones flying here that were lifting DSLRs, 8 motors, very powerful and quite heavy. A thing like that would do serious damage just by falling out of the sky, let alone on impact with a fast moving leading edge.<p>Agreed that the drone risk is oversold. But what bugs me is that these morons that do this spoil drones as a useful and recreational thing for everybody else. It won&#x27;t be long and &#x27;drone operator&#x27; and &#x27;irresponsible asshole&#x27; will be synonymous. It would be <i>really</i> nice if with every drone sold there would be a simple booklet stating the rules for the location the drone is sold into and some kind of mechanism that requires you to read that document before you can operate the drone.
