Drone Takes Out Bride And Groom At Wedding

I always have a problem with this concept. Like the guy is just there to show up.

Women dream about their weddings. There are magazines dedicated to weddings women read every month till they get married.
The flower arrangements, doves being let lose, types of wines, seating arrangements, print on the wedding invites, lace tablecloths, matching napkins, decorations, music, daddy marching them down the isle and a $1.5k dress they're only going to use once in their life.
And if you're NOT the bride and a woman you WILL FIGHT for the bouquet in hopes that your big day is next. Men don't fight over the garter belt tossed unless its tied to a rubber chicken and a prize ticket for a case of beer (seen it happen, funny as hell).
Guys just want an open bar and some chick whose hormones went into overdrive from the bouquet toss to take home for the night. You saw Wedding Crashers right? Its really not that far off.

Is that bovine you're comparing to wearing heels?

You're right. The cow in my example of throwing a frisbee at its head is not wearing heels, has its weight distributed among four legs and has a lower center of gravity than the waterhog in the wedding video (but just barely). I'll give you that. That much I will give you.

The guy would really be better off getting himself a camel. Loyal and hell plus they're so gonzo with all that spit.

You see the guy with the remote running up after the crash, this wasn't a UAV.

This was a quadrocopter with a camera installed. Even a small one will weigh a couple pounds, and it has at least 4 motors on top with spinning blades... It's not something you want to get hit with like they did. The thing was tilted right toward them and probably going 15-20MPH by the time it hit.


Also commercial use of these is already banned (nothing new, it was never legal).

no FAA doesnt care how big or small it is
its a UAV/UAS
 
Yes, UAV is just a generic term for anything that doesn't have a pilot in it. If its not for commercial purposes, flown away from populated areas, and flown below 400ft there are basically no rules.

In practice the ultra-light RC planes can fly in public areas without any fuss, these are usually called parkflyers and are made of foam and fly very slow and low. I've flown mine in our park and its treated the same as kites, cops don't care.

Yeah no.

Drone means that it flies autonomously, when in this vid you can clearly see an idiot kid with a bigass transmitter in his hands.

Its just an RC aircraft.
 
Civy UAV's are all the rage. There is even talk of some insurance companies using them instead of PI's for insurance fraud.

It's a Phantom, a 330 size multirotor and certainly not meant for professional use or even heavy lifting.

Most multirotors are built by the person who bought it so you tend to have some technical knowledge soldering everything together. It's not as good at filtering out noobs like RC helicopters do (helicopter = five months of crashing) but it means the guy building it atleast is aware of what it can do.

The Phantom is the bane of the RC world because it's an off the shelf quad, loaded with GPS and all the programming that takes the skill out of the pilot. In essence, it *is* a drone. Because the only way you could get the knuckleheads to fly a helicopter is to keep the controls out of their hands. The flight control board handles all the adjustments and even wind compensation so all the moron has to do is push the stick to make it move forward.

When you learn to fly a helicopter, you spend more time crashing than landing, each crash is a days worth of repairs and expenses on spare parts (and maybe a few stitches). After several months of this, you actually build up your own checklist. Pre-flight checklist, post flight inspection, safety procedures, flight plans, etc. Nowhere as complex as a real pilots, but enough to keep yourself from screwing up too bad.

Phantoms are advertised as such that you're supposed to take it out of the box and instantly fly over peoples heads. And so we now have guys like these coming into the RC hobby in droves :mad:

Wait, you are saying that 160lb is morbidly obese?

not at all -- i don't think she's THAT fat -- but then again I only saw a few blurry frames of her.

If you have a double chin, can't run, or look pregnant when you actually aren't THEN You are morbidly obese.

I'm 6'1 and 207lbs and technically I'm overweight. I don't have a double chin but I could stand to lose about 15lbs (or just turn 15lbs of fat into muscle) Either way I'd be happy.

There is such a thing as too skinny - but if I was going to marry someone I'd want them to have a BMI of 20-25 that's a nice range, I don't mind a woman with a few extra lbs here and there but there IS a limit.

How and when I play "dress up" is my own business. :p


Seriously though I've never worn a wedding dress, probably because even if i *was* a woman, the thought of spending 1000 dollars on a dress that will get worn for 8 hours is total bullshit.

I have, however, gotten caught up with my feet while putting underwear on half asleep. (and then falling over). I'd imagine that's somewhat similar to falling over being all tripped up on your foofy ass dress you over paid for after getting whacked in the head by a quad copter.

Your comment was that at 165 - 170 a person is too fat to walk and needs help from a motorized chair to get around.

You have no clue what you're talking about. A double chin does not make you morbidly obese. And just given what I've seen here, if she really even is 170 lbs and about 5'6 that's about 27 BMI. Not even remotely close to what anyone would consider morbidly obese...
 
about 165 pounds, 5'3", maybe a little chunky. 5'9" +, that's not that bad

It's not good, either; just an example of how overweight has become average. It's not 'normal'; but it's average.
AFAIK, if a woman doesn't have a recognizable waistline, she's obese. If she's 'round', she's morbidly obese.

Of course there are. Because women stand to gain a tremendous amount when they 'land' a guy. Marriage is a legal contract, guaranteeing the woman that the man will financially support her and her offspring (whether they are his or not) for LIFE. Should he decide he wan't out, she usually gets half of everything, no matter how much income she contributed, and if they have kids, she gets them as well as more $$$ in child support.
He, on the other hand, gets a woman who will never be as sexually desirable again. And he can't legally have sex with any other woman, at the risk of her suing him for divorce and taking all those assets. Remember, in a divorce he still has to give her money, but he no longer ever gets to have sex with her. He gets nothing. Marriage is a lose-lose deal for any guy. What I don't get, with the 58% divorce rate, is if you took up skydiving, and was told there was a 58% chance the parachute wouldn't open, would anyone jump? Nope. So maybe getting hit in the head with a drone will wake that guy up.
