Agree that there's not enough info in the article, but the fact that he got jail time is a pretty significant bit of information. You suggest comparing the incident to losing control of a bicycle or skateboard, but those aren't powered, like a drone. And bicycles and skateboards are allowed to mix with pedestrians--drone's aren't. So really, a better comparison would driving a moped up onto a sidewalk and knocking someone unconscious. Now it sounds a lot like negligence.
