Definition of Death in Ultralight Flying Device Accidents

In plain language

If a person dies within 30 days of a drone accident due to injuries sustained in that accident, it is legally classified as a death resulting from the accident, which triggers immediate accident reporting obligations.

Requirement as structured

For the purpose of determining whether an ultralight flying device accident (초경량비행장치사고) has occurred, 'death' (사망) includes any fatality occurring within 30 days of the accident as a direct result of that accident.
