2kg is quite a bit. I actually think that even a few grams of metal travelling at sufficient velocity could be quite dangerous. I'm tempted to apply for a govt' grant to develop hand-held devices capable of accelerating bits of metal to high velocities and directing them in a specific direction. All for defensive purposes of course.
In the case of drones though I think the chain of events might be more like drone flies into path of car doing 100kmh; driver swerves to avoid collision ..... <gory details omitted> ... and the road will reopen later tonight. It's not as though I haven't seen unsupervised 8 year olds flying drones. I think drones are a great tool/toy but like all advances in this world they also bring issues. They and there uses are developing so fast that I think CASA are a bit behind the game (what!!?? ... a govt dept behind the game). Under such conditions a tragedy could lead to a massive overreaction of some sort.
I do like your idea though that we shouldn't worry about small issues until the larger issues are completely resolved. Saves me replacing that bald tyre.
