I think the title should be updated a bit here. When I read &quot;drone nearly hits&quot; I imagined it flying by and getting to close on the way passed. The video shows it crashing to the ground with some force. It isn&#x27;t clear whether this is under its own power (so an issue in directional control by either a pilot error or equipment fault) or due to loss of power (so it hit the ground due to gravity). Either way it could have done the skier quite some damage if it had been just that little bit closer.
