I think in life, sometimes you have to be realistic about your expectations. If someone gives you the keys to a big house not everybody is going to turn it into the playboy mansion!
I think, and I hope I'm right, that the drone hit his headtube/upper stanchions...the rider might have been ok if the drone was quite light. The drone...less so.
I had my fill of obstacle courses in the 80's on bmx - just remember we all have to go back to work on monday morning. Unless you are martyr ashford - who sadly can't work anymore.
Keep the camera focused and don't go to the rescue until the crash is over.
Props to CL, keeping the dream alive.
