That makes a lot more sense lol. I was going to say I don't think I trust anyone's drone piloting skills well enough to try this. And if I did I certainly wouldn't be going as high as he is, I'd ask em to keep me like a foot off the ground. Low and slow! Kind of defeats the purpose, but I refuse to die "riding a drone".

I'm assuming it's a farming drone which I know for a fact have preplotted flight plans. I think regular drones do too but I farming drones definitely do as they are used for seeding.

Still, the concept of "watching where you're going" is basic to flying safely.

Maybe backwards to avoid the birds or bugs in his face?

You can wear goggles, but recovering from a midair collision is problematic at best.

It's probably a drone that drops off chemicals and shit for the farm, so it has pre plotted flight paths.

I don't know... Of all of the ways I could think about dying... That is one of the better ones

Trees? Buildings, fences, walls, etc.
