Filming drone crashes upon triathlete as it loses control, presumably "hacked"

[Cado]

[QUOTE]Reports that a drone hit an athlete competing in a triathlon in Western Australia's Mid West are being investigated by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).

The filming drone was hovering above competitors in Geraldton's Endure Batavia Triathlon about 9:00am on Sunday when the operator lost control.

It dropped about 10 metres, and competitor Raiji Ogden says it hit her and she fell to the ground.

Mrs Ogden sustained head injuries and was treated by paramedics before being taken to hospital in a stable condition.

[...] an initial investigation had indicted that someone nearby "channel hopped" the device, taking control away from the operator. [/QUOTE]

Reasonable levels of detail.

Hopefully they'll be able to secure them well enough before there are any serious incidents.
