It's unfortunate that they're outlawing it based on the weight of the drone being more than 200 grams. A soccer ball is around 450 grams, and even when it falls at terminal velocity on your head it's not going to kill you. Of course that's not true of most 450 gram drones now, since they have external spinning blades and sharp or stabby surfaces. But if they instead defined some sort of crash test one might imagine even a 2 kg drone being relatively harmless if it e.g. was cushioned by styrofoam and had internal propellers. A law that tested for the potential harm would create a market for creating safer drones.
