Well some of this is hype, because they're selling a product. But it does show how tough a quadcopter can be. I would crash mine (from hoverthings.com) pretty much every time I flew, but very seldom broke anything. Basically if it looked like I was getting into big trouble, I'd just cut the throttle and let the thing fall to earth. That one time... I was flying at the top of a hill in windy conditions, lost control, and plowed the old GoPro camera right into a tree. Lens broke. Much sad.
Quadcopters are a relatively new type of radio-controlled flying device, mostly for hobbyists. They are strong enough to lift a camera, which allows for amazing videos and photos. But this ability also makes them controversial.

Good frame, or best frame?
