TGI Friday’s Mistletoe Drone Smashes Woman in the Face and Slices End of her Nose on its Maiden Flight

It was supposed to provide the perfect festive romantic moment: a mistletoe drone that would get diners at TGI Friday’s to kiss on camera.
But the restaurant’s plan to lure in festive diners went horribly wrong after one of the machines smashed into a photographer’s face at a launch event in New York.
Georgine Benvenuto was left in shock after the machine flew into her face, slicing off the tip of her nose and cutting open a section of her lip.
The ten-inch drone became so entangled in Miss Benvenuto’s hair that she even feared she would lose an eye.
The incident took place as Miss Benvenuto and other journalists gathered at the Sheepshead Bay restaurant to witness the four-bladed drones embark on their maiden flight.
Miss Benvenuto told Business Insider: ‘If that would’ve hit me in my eye, I wouldn’t be working tomorrow.
‘If this thing continued to spin, it would’ve taken my eye out without a doubt.’
The drama unfolded after the photojournalist arrived at the restaurant to take a photo of a couple kissing beneath the remote-controlled helicopter.
Miss Benvenuto admitted she had been uncomfortable with the set-up from the start – particularly when she realised the shoot would take place inside the establishment.
She told the Daily Intelligencer that she felt ‘uneasy’ that the drone could interfere with or hurt the kissing couple while it was hovering over them.
But Miss Benvenuto got to work, managing to successfully take photos of the couple kissing beneath the larger of the two drones.
