One word: Insane.

Blah Blah Blah Safety Blah Blah Blah Amputation Blah Blah Blah Crash
All I see is Awesome! I want one.

So that's what happened to the first Stig...

This shows the crazy priorities of Dubai culture. Human life is cheap and there's lots of money for extreme gadgets. It might be a great place to live if you've got lots of money and don't care about the kind of fun you can have in Las Vegas. Not for me on both counts. :-) Still, the more sane rest of the world can learn from their mistakes and achievements and copy them when things work out well and not so when their new risky ideas don't work out. Dubais like to be the fist to do everything, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I love the supercar, Rolls Royce, and Mercedes and the background. Dubai is like what would happen if every member of a city (including public officials) won the lottery. They are sitting around going "How are we going to find a way to spend our budget this year?" "I've got it Lets deploy a squad of police on hoverbikes attached to the roofs of Bugatti's!" Dubai is an amusing spectacle for sure.

A knee annihilator, thigh stump initiator, or pilot immolator?

Someone in the Dubai gov has been done for speeding...this is simply payback for being pulled over!

Hand these things over to the guys with the right stuff. The guys who have challenged Darwin and repeatedly crashed their crotches onto steel railings or fallen onto concrete from heights and at speeds that only causes significant abrasions, contusions and broken bones. These are the ideal users. And they are sure to be willing to trade up from skateboards to something less safe, more poorly engineered than a mere skateboard as well as far more expensive. Not that there is any question that Darwin right, just that these are the folks ready to do the heavy lifting.

I think among the biggest hazards is the fact that there are only 4 rotors. Fine for a model-sized drone. Not so fine for a manned vehicle.
If one rotor goes out, the other three cannot stabilize the vehicle. The whole thing will go down. And a 200-foot fall is generally a lot more debilitating than simply whacking off a leg. If you get my drift.

Who needs legs ???
Perfect tool for crowd-controle and decapitating a street filled with protesters.
