Dangerous?

I only seem to post questions on this bit of the forum when I am at Olympic events. This year it is the Test Regatta for the Olympic games in Qingdao, China.

Today we had an R44 flying round the marina over both the land and the water at slow speed (probably less than 30 knots) very low. Perhaps between 100 and 200 feet - low enough that the small 'R44' on the side was readable. There was a TV cameraman filming from the left skids. No floats.

Am I right to assume (as a plank flyer) that if the donkey quits or pretty much any other misfortune was to occur, the whole kit and caboodle would land up at a point roughly below where the misfortune occured?

Clearly not quite within CAA regulations but is it actually dangerous?
