For those who still think drone hand-catching is a safe thing to do, check out the online video of popular singer Enrique Iglesias hand-catching a video drone onstage as he had done several times before as part of his act. However, this time things go horribly wrong, and the singer finds himself holding on to the wrong end of everything, attempting to fling the drone away in apparent pain. The drone appears smaller than a Typhoon, with only 4 props. Iglesias not only suffered severe cuts on his fingers that made him have to quickly rush offstage to seek medical help, but it was later discovered his injuries were far worse than initially thought, having a severe hand fracture and more.
You can be sure the singer had practiced this maneuver MANY times offstage under the watchful eyes of his handlers before making it a part of his act, but despite all of that this dangerous accident still happened to him. And once is all it takes. I value the fingers and hands I was born with and my other body parts, too, and I do not take them for granted. Others may choose to willingly place theirs in jeopardy, but I intend to go to the grave with all of my body parts as intact as possible.
