This is why we need regulation and rules:
“They started jumping for it,” he said.
“I started taunting them, bringing it down and then taking it up.
They wouldn’t leave until their mom dragged them away.”
If he was flying a Phantom with carbon propellers somebody could have gotten seriously hurt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji3Hii_LZOc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji3Hii_LZOc
The current rules in Denmark (which I believe to be slightly too strict).
* No flying within 150m of city areas
* No flying within 150m of larger roads
* Maximum flying height 100m
* No flying above crowded areas (including vacation houses etc)
* No flying within 5 km of airports
* No flying within 8 km of military airports
* No flying over specially protected areas (think wildlife preserves)
* Special care must be taken not to endanger lives and property

They are marketed as toys but they are powerful enough to do major damage and people who buy them don't even realize it. I've personally witnessed a DJI owner try to stop running propellers with his hands and another who thought it was a good idea to fly dangerously close to the heads of some girls who were sunbathing. It's gotten to the point where I seriously believe you should have to take a safety course and get a license in order to fly these things.
