A tourist at Northeast Asia Cloud Grassland Bay lost consciousness after being hit in the head by a rogue drone; both pilot and police accepted responsibility.

Social Context

China’s Civil Aviation Administration requires drone operators to register devices and obtain airspace clearance—especially in scenic zones where 70% of recent incidents involved unlicensed pilots. The ‘Drone Safety 2024’ campaign mandates mandatory insurance for commercial operators.

Safety Tip

Wear protective helmets in drone-heavy tourist areas—and verify operators display valid CAAC license QR codes before consenting to aerial photography.
