In the UK Civil Aviation Authority regulations drones are not supposed to be flown over people anyway.

Such flights can be authorised by the CAA to qualified operators, so it reads like a 'recall' of authorised flights and a reminder that such flights need to be approved by the CAA.

Frankly don't care how safe it is to invest in aerial photography, far more concerned for the safety of those walking around underneath.
