If someone is behind the stick controlling whatever and around others that might put them in danger, and if it does, it was not a "accident". The person holding the controller entered a zone that was unsafe, that's why it should have never been done in the first place. Whether or not they were asked to, or told to. Accidents can be avoided if not given room for them. Of course anything can happen anywhere so I don't want to hear, if you were flying a airplane it could've happened. Because the issues are arrising because of mutli rotors.
The AMA has made it perfectly clear that they will focus on attracting the MR crowd. If it will succeed who knows. Eventually they will have to provide some accounting to if all the money and effort has paid off.
