Sheer luck helped prevent mid-air drone glider prang in Blighty

Understood that this should be given respect, as a collision is potentially fatal.

However, to link this with tightening drone rules is disingenuous, as the existing rules were clearly already being broken by the drone operator. Most consumer drones will not support flight above 121 meters without confirmed user intervention, so the operator appears to have been knowingly and deliberately flouting the existing rules.

Unfortunately, some commentators will abuse this incident in order to push an enforcement agenda that does not solve the issues at hand.
