Unfortunately were in no shortage of prime examples. This is a LOT of technology at an extremely affordable price point and it's just too advanced for a great many people to handle responsibly. Its like if folks in the early 1900's were given high powered lasers at a very cheap price. Half the population would have been blind in a few years due to idiots not understanding the ramifications of pointing them at each others eyes. When I got my FC40 about a year ago I remember a lot of people wanting me to use it to take video over the town's Labor Day parade. I don't mean to the side, they wanted me to fly directly over the marchers and spectators heads at low altitude. I had to tell'em are you e'fing NUTS! I didn't even know how to do a figure 8 and this was long before all the horror stories we're hearing about now but jeeze-louise I at least had the common sense not to do something as stupid as that. I actually left it at home that day.
