Drone-chute

equip drones with parachutes

There have been numerous accidents and near misses of heavy drones falling from the sky following mechanical and other failures.

The idea is therefore to equip them with a parachute that automatically deploys when needed or on demand, bringing them slowly back down to earth, and landing safely instead of in a tangled heap on someone's head.

       I'm pretty sure some hobbyists have experimented with this.
