See a Guy Riding Huge Drone Wipe Out After Trying to Shoot a Hoop

You might have seen him surfing on top of a drone in New York.

Hunter Kowald is a daredevil and mechanical engineering genius who has created a SkySurfer.

Things don't always go the way they are planned. The inventor crashed his drone and sent splinters flying while trying to shoot hoops from the air, a reminder that even though it can be fun, it can also be dangerous.

Bird Attack

The small basketball appears to bounce back and impact one of the drone's rotors, causing Kowald to plummet to the ground from roughly eight feet, landing on his behind. The video was shared on World Star Hip Hop.

Are you training for bird attacks? The caption of the video was written by the man. We're getting a lot of attention for it. I crashed because I let my guard go down.

There could've been worse things. A second video shows pieces of the drone flying through the air and narrowly missing a person.

"Chunks flying everywhere!" The caption was written by the man. It will drive full power into the ground.

He said he flew upwards, shut off the board and let it fall.

We talked to the guy who built the giant drone that he flies around on.
