Okay, so wouldn't 0.5 x 0.9 kg x 20 m/s ^2 be 180 J, not 80 J? And if so, how would one equate that to bodily or property damage. The closest example I was able to find from Google searches is Red Wing Footwear for men and women must withstand an impact energy of 125 joules (the equivalent of a...

Good point! I think that is actually 0.5 x mv^2, so would that be 0.5 x 900 g x 20 m/s ^2 = 180,000 KE? And what would I compare that to in order to estimate damage to a body or object? Asking for a friend. :cool:

Right, and so this is for a Mavic 2 Pro at ~900 g, correct? What would is look like for a Mavic Air at ~430 g or a Mavic Mini at ~250 g? Or even the Anafi at ~375 g?

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. From this I gather that a drone that experiences a critical failure and falls from 100ft would impact the ground at ~25 mph. From 150 or higher, it might impact at about 40 mph. I was looking for this so that I could estimate potential liability...
