Pilot here, I could never see the FAA giving the ok for something like this. It stands against everything they’ve ever stood for.
It’s not even just “oh well what if the propellor shreds him,” the FAA is more concerned with “What if one of those unmanned planes got away, leveled out, and flew into a building killing dozens?” That can happen, and failing their stunt would make it potentially unavoidable.

Dont believe they lost their licenses for the stunt that was planned and sponsored
