I'm okay with enacting a required IQ test and sanity check before selling someone a DJI and/or firearms.
Regarding the test saw it but seems off to compare it to a blob of gelatin. Birds have some internal bone structure, also curious if they stuck to the same speed or assumed that quad could be cruising faster than a bird. Personal note my managers at work were on a plane last week to SF that was grounded because they hit a goose that exploded one of the engines... Good thing they have two.

Remember the "Miracle on the Hudson"? Both engines were taken out by a bird strike. Captain Sullenberg did that fantastic job of landing the plane in the Hudson river and all passengers and crew survived.
The impact forces are the same whether both objects are moving at 100 mph or one is stationary with the other moving at 200 mph.

I was worried that someone was resurrecting Einstein and his theory of Relativity.
