"More DM style hyperbole."

Maybe, maybe not. We might not know until one actually gets sucked into an engine, and then hour like hell it is hyperbole.

That said, I think we need a distinction between little domestic drones (such as mine) and this thing. I mean, jeez, I'm not sure my craft could manage a hundredth of that height. And flying using only the FPV camera is risky as there's a good half second or so lag. It's for fun, not stupidity...

What I'm trying to say - not all drone owners are wankers and not all drones are capable of such activity.
