I'm surprised the explosion shock waves and ejecting burning material don't interfere with flight more to be honest. Some of the blasts are quite close.
The paradigm shift has already happened. The problem now, at least in the United States, is, will drones become totally illegal for civilians to use in public places? It seems to be that's where things are headed. The FAA has already outright declared that anyone using them commercially will be fined and has done so to the tune of $10,000 at least in one case. If anyone hasn't they should go to youtube and watch some of the black sheep videos. There is one that they filmed over the grand canyon that was pretty decent, thought not their best by any means. Since drones in national parks are now illegal, you'll likely now never see anything like it again. There is undoubtedly risk involved with drones. If it malfunctions and falls out of the sky on someone's head, there's potential for serious injury. The spinning blades carry some serious inertia too. Especially on the larger models. I'm on the fence, because on one hand, a bunch of idiots are going to inevitably buy PVP gear and start flying these things around with no real experience, but on the other, the people that know what they are doing shouldn't really have to have the party ruined for them because of a bunch of morons.
