So, some weird shtuff happened to me last week, when I took my dog, Zoe to the field for our daily walk and to fly my P3P. A guy was already there just sitting at the field and in a folding chair, enjoying a cigar and just soaking up the warm day. It was the 1st nice day in a while. We exchanged pleasantries and I went about my business of playing with the dog and flying the drone to stay sharp and keep Zoe entertained by letting her chase it around the field.
About an hour after we got there, I was packing the things up and noticed the guy I had spoken to was sitting in the back of his van on the bumper, doors open. I heard a weird gasp, and upon investigating, I found the man unresponsive. I called paramedics and tried to revive him, but I found him too late. He was mid 50s.
The paramedics showed up and worked on him for maybe 15 minutes before driving off.
The messed up part is I was maybe only ever 30-80 feet away from the guy at any given time and although I never really directly recorded him, I caught the poor guy's death on the drone in chunks.
He had a coronary and died sitting on the back bumper of his van, leaning against the door.
I was making laps in the field and my dog does a pretty good job of keeping up with the thing.
But each lap, I'd have a 5-7 second glimpse of the guy. Not while I was flying, as I was always up about 20-30' and the ipad mini at that height you're not going to see anything clearly. But, after everything happened, I looked over the footage @ home and was pretty saddened to see that he probably actually succumbed about 15 minutes before I actually realized there was a problem.
You never know what you're going to catch on camera.
