Drones are widely considered to be a creation for wreaking havoc in war zones and for clandestine surveillance in remote parts of the world. However those are not the only kind of drones. A restaurant used drones to deliver food to customers’ tables while researchers in Iran are working on a drone that can save lives. One popular drone, which can be bought by anyone, is the Phantom Quadcopter. You might remember it from the 3 minute short film of New York City it was used to create. A photographer decided to use the drone, with a GoPro camera attached to it, for a bridal shoot. Unfortunately he ended up flying the drone straight into the groom’s face.
The photographer tried to get a unique fly-by angle by flying the drone past the couple, he was able to do it the first time around. When he tried to the same maneuver the second time, he underestimated the lift time and the drone hit the groom on the side of the face. This collision resulted in a cut on his cheek and on the side of his head. Fortunately, despite the fact that Phantom Quadcopter is capable of a top vertical speed of over 19 feet per second, no major harm was caused and the incident was laughed off.
