Drones and hoverboards are all the rage these days. Unfortunately, though, being that it’s only the first wave of their implementation, we still really don’t know how to utilize them in a safe and efficient manner.
Alpine skier Marcel Hirscher almost got taken out by one at the Madonna di Campiglio in Italy during a slalom event.
The drone was carrying a camera, and during Hirscher’s run, it literally crashed right behind him. If he were even a half-second slower, things might’ve gotten really ugly. Watch the video to see how close it was.
