A Drone Crashed into my Head!
Positive I am an skilled drone flyer. However this one caught me off guard. An early morning Father’s Day flight ended with a drone to the pinnacle.
BELOW IS THE GEAR I USED TO CREATE THIS VIDEO:

Well you get a shortcut in hair
And the subject of your next video will be : "What is the best helmet for flying your drone !" 😉
I'm sorry, this is not a laughing matter but since you are well, here goes a little laught.
That's why we, you and I , .should as good Canadians, always wear our hockey helmets when outdoors. My wife says we could dress them up with a Beadazzle kit.lol Hope your ok, shit happens for frig sakes. Stay safe bro. Best drone tutorial on the Web in my opinion. Always informative and interesting. A few "pops" and your golden! ? ? ?
Revenge of the DRONE!!! ? On a serious note glad you were ok. Those drones are crazy fast.
D'oh… You got lucky. Poor Norm.
My P3 Standard attacked me on take off once, I had to knock it down with my hand. Buggers of things.
I have one little piece of advice… dont do that!!!! Lol
Fortunately you are okay, once same thing happened to me , scratched my face and goggles 🙂
Safe Skies
Dont worry Cap, we all end up with 1 on our head at one point, its inevitable 🙂 Thank you for sharing
i have no experience with race drones only camera drones, so is it like ''impossible'' to land slowly first and then shut off the motors or am i missing something?
Wow that hurt Captain
Glad you are ok, these things are dangerous and never forget it, been flying over 30 years and I've seen some bad accidents happen from simple mistakes by very experienced pilots.
These quads are really fun but the danger from them is probably greater than ever with 4 props and so much potential to go wrong with setups.
I fly with a lower camera angle so landings aren't as dodgy, turning off air mode for landing is wise too.
Be safe out there!
How's ur head today? Hopefully a quick recovery
Glad u r alive
So it seems like you did not died, did not sustained heavy injuries and somehow that accident did not started the Armageddon like all international media want people to believe if one got hit by a drone …
Or did you?!
That was a happy father's day from the drone. Don't understand drone language ?
One thing I learned the hard way. Was never think that it will never happen.. a tiny drift you have it on top of you. Be careful.. I'm glad you are ok. Sheers!
You should go to the hospital.
Nice job!
You are a lucky man!?
ouch, flying is a contact sport
I know all of us are drone flying fanatics and go through the day with drones on the brain but man…you took that literally!
landing p(he)ad
Put's some aloe on that and you'll be healed up quick!! Great videos thanks for all the info!!!
Glad you had your safety squints on!
As long as the drone was ok!! That flesh wound will heel, have you counted all your fingers?? 😉
Take care and fly safe!! 🙂
So after you got over the shock of being wacked in the head,
was your first thought,
"How's the quad?"
I felt bad for laughing at first, then I got serious because you analyze the way I do when I get injure and come up with a conclusion and a lesson learned… keep flying Captain, always enjoy your vids!
All boys have fun ?
can I get the movie rights?
You are like a boy! Ah ah ah!
Thats what we call…. Using yer head!
