"Quadcopters have zero redundancy, there are NO safety measures in EXISTANCE!  If any one thing fails they fall out of the sky, with no warning, and nothing that can be done.  I don't care about a 3 pound foam wing hitting me, I do care about a 3…"

"Full safety review, approval and waiver... yeah sure, it just proves those people signing off on it are clueless to the danger.  The even bigger problem is editing up this video to show off how OTHERS can fly over crowds... I mean, if you can do it…"
