is this the first documented injury caused by a civilian drone? The future appears to be here people. It makes me wonder though, if Amazon eventually get to use drones to deliver products like they envision, what happens when an Amazon drone twice the size carrying a customers order drops from the sky and injures someone?
My thought too. I could find an earlier record of a drone dropping into a crowd [1], but they were minor injuries treated on-site. This seems to be one of the first cases of a person being hospitalised by a drone.

What happens when an Amazon drone hits a google self-driving car?
I think the only answer to this question is: the universe folds in on itself and implodes.
