Never thought of this...but looks pretty awesome! Imagine the hangtime you'd get with that thing! :smug:

Did you guys see the one they did in the snow?!

He's nuts. This is illegal in the USA to fly a drone that close to people.





Here's another guy wakeboarding.

That is indeed nuts. Must be the most irresponsible thing I've seen in quite a while. How much distance did they keep to spectators? Like 10 meters? Ridiculous.

Never ever should anyone operate any drone of any size above other peoples heads / that close to them, let alone that huge thing. One small human or technical error and someone might be missing a head.
In the first video which I posted it was done in what seemed like a controlled environment, which is why I found it cool. I don't at all approve of what that guy in the snowboard/drone videos was doing. I think I've stumbled upon some of his drone "reviews" before and he seems like a total ***hole anyway.
/rant over

I live in a country with basically no drone laws and very light RC plane laws compared to other countries, which is no wonder since I think I've only once seen a flying quadrocopter here in my life. Apparently some new EU regulation is going to change all that in a few years, which is probably because of how irresponsibly some people seem to operate their "toys". Let's just hope they don't kill a nice hobby (RC) in the process.:(
