    Not unless they learn how to put their chain on right. Noticed at about the 11 second mark the chain appears to be on backwards. Rookey chainsaw drone operator error.:rofl: :lol:

    Kind of surprised to see how stable it was smashing through the snowmen. Yet, a 2ยข balloon takes it down.

    I'm sure with drones there can and will be many excellent operations and tools in the future but I guess it starts with toys. I can easily picture those guys trimming trees using helicopters and then think about a large drone doing the same thing. Much more practical I think and surely safer. All in the future though.

    Many times I think of possible applications for drones and wonder. For example, why could not one be used with a harness to lift people? For example, many times it is extremely dangerous or impossible to get a chopper into an area to rescue an injured person. Why not use a drone? Or how about changing out a light on one of those really tall tv towers? Topping trees? One could go on and on.

    I'll bet it's to prevent an injury should the drone get out of control.
