Of the injured patients, 21% were younger than 18 years old and 84% of the patients were male.” In 2015, a child lost his eye from a recreational drone that crashed, leaving him completely blinded in one eye. Deaths obviously occur at a much lesser rate - there have been a couple recorded in history but there remains instances where recreational drones can cause exceptional harm (or potentially death) to an individual, that cannot be denied.
Great information for the starters! 👍🏽
Harmful events? Remind us again how many people have died as the result of the recreational use of multirotor drones?
