"As to drones falling out of the sky; I’d rather have a small drone fall on me that a 150# cyclist traveling 25 mph hit me."

High Altitude H-Quad Free Fall

(I’m a smaller target as seen from above than aimed at horizontally by a bike courier. Plus, the cyclist & his bike are a MUCH bigger bullet than a small quadcopter)
