Just some real information, not speculation.
Because it is not at the top of a list doesn't mean an activity isn't dangerous. When you worked for SPSC were quads/fpv etc routinely flying yet? Although not exclusively quad related, you don't typically see large scale RC planes able to operate the way heli/multi rotor craft can.
