Ask him.
If it's true, what does this say about all those who have adamantly maintained that all who flies a Phantom near people are idiots?

No Gary it was an accident and a bad one for that kid and the pilot .I totally understand dirkclod's point. However, something tells me that poor little boy was close to some idiot with a drone. Flying it inside with kids around, trying to buzz his friends, some stupidity like that. I highly doubt it was what we would call a responsible drone pilot. If a trained drone pilot flies a quad over a concert crowd, could it crash and hurt someone? Absolutely. Likelihood? Slim. There's also a real chance that a 747 piloted by an expert with 10,000 hours experience could do the exact same thing. Which, by the way, we have plenty of examples of plane crashes maiming & killing thousands. No matter where you go or what activity involved you'll have some idiot who will inadvertantly hurt a poor little kid By acting stupid.

Here it is . Toddler's eyeball sliced in half by drone propeller - BBC News
I keep that picture on my desk top and I will not never put myself in his shoes nor do I think anyone here would .
I have a 1 year old that's with me every time I fly which is almost everyday .
It's a sore subject with me and should have just stayed out of this .
Was my bad
I get your feeling to though. I naturally thought that to hit a little boy with a drone, something irresponsible had to be going on. But it sounds like it was just more of a fluke than an idiot mistake. It actually got me thinking about how that happened and how I would try to prevent it if I'm in a similar situation.I understand your point I do . That really did hit close to home with me and I just fly in the country now .
Like I said though I shouldn't have just jumped in but I get crazy sometimes with my views . I really do try
and stay out of a lot of this .
I do funny's better ,I just keep seeing that kid in mine .

And I say it's about time! I've just about quit flying because of all the **** rules and hysteria. I imagine there are many more like me, too! They need to turn the hell loose of this technology and let it run!
