Having worked with some standards bodies, this is the major fear of professional UAS operators that someone will cause a high profile incident and all the work of trying to get commercial operations approved will be thrown away. For example, it only takes a paparazzi with a qadrotor to have a mid-air with a manned aircraft say a helicopter carrying a VIP/socialite, and the door will be firmly shut to all but 'state owned' aircraft.
