Drone Danger
« on: December 23, 2015, 10:23:26 AM »
This could have ended very poorly.  As these become more commonplace there are  not doubt going to be some crazy incidents

Wow!
That was a slalom course, but imagine a Giant Slalom with a skier coming down the mountain in excess of 60+ MPH (PLUS the impact of a drone).

Drones can bring us some nice footage, but should never EVER cross the path of an athlete.

Try as they may no drone is going to be quick enough to take out Marcel Hirscher. He's way too fast.

The carnage on that drone was awesome.  Pieces flying everywhere.

My hexoplus selfie drone just arrived last night. I have it all set up and ready to crash into slalom skiers.

Mine just supposedly shipped today - although the tracking info they sent doesn't work.

Drone problems are certainly creating a lot of fallout.

"My hexoplus selfie drone just arrived last night. I have it all set up and ready to crash into slalom skiers."

They need skier homing devices so they don't miss.

I guess this drone pilot will be looking for a new hobby.
