The drone that hurt Bauer's hand was apparently a model he was building himself, and when he plugged in the battery only one rotor spun, causing the injury. USA Today reports he's had issues with UAVs before, as the team banned him from flying over the practice facility, and he got one stuck in a tree in Kansas City. His YouTube channel shows off some nicely shot drone videos, and just last month a news report aired showing how he has shared his passion with students at a local high school, followed by a Wall Street Journal article.

I hope Bauer's passion for the hobby isn't dulled by this event, but as a person who also needs their hands to work, maybe I can suggest the fully-enclosed Passport drone for in-season flights?

Update: Cleveland won the game anyway, 4 - 2.
