[NSRCA-discussion] The Moment A World Cup Skier Was Nearly Hit By A Drone Falling Out Of The Sky

[John Gayer]

This was a commercial operation by the video provider of the race in 
Italy using a 22 pound drone. It was fully authorized by the FIS which 
puts on world cup races.

That takes this incident completely out of the realm of the rogue 
hobbyist. Of course the FAA might use the incident to further delay 
their commercial drone regulations.
