Recently, netizens posted on social media claiming that a family was injured by a drone while visiting the Tengwang Pavilion scenic area in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. The police stated that they have not yet found the owner of the drone, sparking discussions online.
On June 14, a netizen named “xixi” posted on a social platform saying, “While taking photos for my mom on the fifth floor of the Tengwang Pavilion, a drone hit my head directly. My husband pushed it away with his hand, and both of us were scratched.”
According to “xixi,” they had just climbed up the Tengwang Pavilion with their family and encountered the accident after taking only a couple of photos. “When the drone hit my head, we were all stunned. I initially thought something had fallen from the Tengwang Pavilion,” she wrote in the post.
“xixi” also revealed that the drone involved in the incident should be a DJI brand. After the incident, both she and her husband went to the hospital for treatment, and because the drone’s propellers were not made of metal, they did not need to worry about tetanus.
On June 15, “xixi” informed Upstream News that the incident occurred on the evening of June 13 at the fifth floor of the Tengwang Pavilion. Fortunately, their injuries were not severe, just scratches.
Reports stated that staff at the Tengwang Pavilion scenic area mentioned that flying drones is prohibited within the area. After the visitor was injured, they reported the incident to the police themselves. The Tengwang Pavilion Police Station in Nanchang stated that the owner of the drone is still being searched for.
This incident has garnered attention on the internet.
Technology blogger and Weibo influencer “逍遙劉傑” mentioned, “Drones generally have GPS and serial numbers. A quick check in the official product system would reveal the owner, with the premise being the involvement of the police…”
The headline writer, Weibo influencer “科技Mentor,” also commented, “This should not be difficult to resolve. Regular drones are similar to mobile phones with unique serial numbers and complete flight data records. As long as the police or regulatory authorities communicate with the manufacturers, they can trace back to the pilot’s identity based on flight time, area, equipment serial number (SN), or even login accounts.”
A netizen named “dfhtyyitghjn568” questioned, “When I fly, I have to register and there is a serial number to check, why is it taking so long to find the owner? Is it because they don’t want to find them, or they can’t find them?”
