“Fallen drone knocks Australian out of triathlon…” [#geekgirl]

[Via RT] “An athlete competing in an Australian triathlon had her race cut short over the weekend when she needed to be hospitalized after being struck in the head with an unmanned aerial vehicle, also known as a drone.

Raija Ogden was competing in Australia’s Endure Batavia Triathlon on Sunday when, upon entering her second lap of the run, a remote-controlled drone helicopter dropped from the sky, hitting her in the head and knocking her off her feet. Ogden – wife of defending champion of the race Courtney Ogden, who wound up finishing second overall – was hospitalized and in stable condition after the incident.”
