"It turns out that small drones are safer near people than was thought."
"As part of the test, the researchers dropped a typical drone (a Phantom 3, weighing 2.7 pounds) on a crash test dummy at a typical speed of about 34 mph."
The Mavic is half that weight, and DJI sells many more than the Phantom series. I still wouldnt want to get hit on the head with one, but the possibility of fatality is remote if struck by one.

Good to see some facts about drone drops happening. Hopefully this will start to calm some of the paranoia.
