Plane Hits Paraglider -2 Killed

[VenomXts]

Super sad for both accounts but just a reminder for us drone pilots that while we don't sit in the seat collisions still happen so be warry.

'It came down real hard': 2 killed when plane collides with paraglider in Fort Bend County, sheriff's office says

There are three different sites related to the incident that are several miles apart from each other, and a parachute was found at one of those scenes.

That's horrible for all involved and touched by this accident.

Extremely sad story. I can't help wondering how the pilot didn't see it through. However, I'm guessing that after getting the plane into the air, it's fairly clear and straightforward flying until you get to your landing site and you're not too worried about airborne obstructions? Still, sad for both the pilot and the paraglider.

any loss of life is a tragedy for all those concerned ,no matter what time of year it is ,and just shows us all ,why we need to take our actions seriously when we are flying our UAVs
even if we are not directly involved if our drones cause an accident,
