So. What if you disable a drone and it hits someone as it falls?

  This is my thought as well. Not all drones (I hate that term, but that ship has sailed) have return to home or even fail safe operations. Imagine, for a moment, someone triggering this while there's a quad racing event going on. All of a sudden, you have between 3 and 5 unguided projectiles following unpredictable paths, usually with spectators present. All of them are also carrying a fairly nasty incendiary device (also known to laymen as a battery), which reacts poorly to being crashed. Or a fly-in, where not only the quads, but all RC aircraft are affected. Some of those move at well over 100mph, and are filled with jet fuel.
