Nowadays, the use of drones is becoming more and more popular, and drones can be seen at wedding scenes, remote sensing mapping, and agricultural plant protection. As the entry threshold for civilian drones has been lowered, various safety issues have also arisen, such as "black flights" that disrupt navigation and accidentally injure people. According to media reports, a netizen posted a video a few days ago saying that while taking pictures by the lake, a drone suddenly flew over and hit him in the face.

The person involved, Ms. Yuan, said that the incident happened in July when her boyfriend took a video with his mobile phone.Suddenly, a drone flew over, flying very fast. Fortunately, I was wearing a hat and sunglasses. The drone first hit the brim of my hat, and then hit my face, and my collarbone was scratched by the propeller.

Video from the scene showed that the drone was so fast that the propeller was broken and the blade almost hit Ms. Yuan’s eye.

It is reported that Ms. Yuan contacted the drone company and found the person who released the drone. Until now, she is still afraid of the sound of the drone.

Regarding Ms. Yuan's experience, some netizens said: "It's really lucky. The propeller of the drone is as powerful as a meat grinder at full speed. My friend used it incorrectly and received many stitches on his hand." "Last year, my face was hit and scratched by a drone. It was a father flying with his child in the park. It makes me afraid of this thing now."

It is understood that in order to regulate unmanned aircraft flights and related activities, promote the healthy and orderly development of the unmanned aircraft industry, safeguard aviation safety, public safety, and national security, and fill the gaps in domestic unmanned aircraft regulations.

June 28, 2023The State Council issued the "Interim Regulations on the Management of Unmanned Aircraft Flights", which will be officially implemented on January 1, 2024.

The Regulations mention thatPersonnel who operate micro and light civil unmanned aircraft do not need to obtain a pilot license, but they should be proficient in operating methods of relevant aircraft types and understand risk warning information and relevant management systems.

In addition, those who use civil unmanned aircraft to engage in commercial flight activities, as well as use small, medium, or large civil unmanned aircraft to engage in non-commercial flight activities, must purchase liability insurance in accordance with the law.
