I spent many long months working and living in HK, Tseung Kwan is actually quite open for Hong Kong. One of the place I was working at was over that way, lots of parks, and open areas, but most are goverment owned so restrictions range from no fly, to no photos on Tuesdays,lol

You're right, its not a toy, its a Toy Machine.

I read the thread over at RR. Its too bad that happens. Just goes to show that accidents can happen know matter how much experience one can have.
