1. Oh, it's the woman's fault, again...

What a jerk the drone pilot is.

[PoliticAverse]

2. People should be aware that mistle containing drones are dangerous... n/r

3. Warning: If approached by a mistletoe drone, don't flinch

Pilot blamed fellow journalist, saying she flinched as he tried to land craft on her hand.

I wonder if kissing counts? Or avoiding a kiss counts?

4. Maybe we need to back up and ask

just who in fuck's name thought this was a good idea in the first place??

8. I know it's an overused expression, but

I literally clicked in this thread expecting a quick laugh over an Onion story...

Maybe TGIF would be better served if they returned the drone to the toy store and made the "pilot" wait tables so diners don't wait forever to eat

9. Exactly. My first thought was: What is possibly wrong with this idea?

5. That's a DJI Phantom. My son owns one.

The factory props are sharp enough to sever a finger to the bone if they hit while under power. The pilot was a goddamned idiot to try and "land" that thing on a novices hand. Sounds like he was trying to show off and got stupid.

13. I would imagine that the spinning things would be as dangerous as fan blades

6. When you try to get the drone to land in your hand,

be careful about how close you hold your hand to your head and be careful about what direction you push the drone in.
