Small Consumer Drones Pose Little Risk of Serious Head Injury
Researchers at Virginia Tech have found that small consumer drones are unlikely to cause severe head injuries if they fall out of the sky and strike people.
A study found that a catastrophic head injury was less than 5 percent in an impact with a 2.6-pound (1.2-kilogram) unmanned vehicle, according to results published in the Annals of Biomedical Engineering.
