A plane crashed in the ocean and retard passengers who didn't listen to the safety briefing put on their jackets instantly (much to the dismay of other passengers and hosties) and inflated them. The plane filled with water and whilst others were swimming out of the plane, these Darwin Award Laureates could not achieve the negative buoyancy to exit the aircraft.
Air Crash Investigation yo.

/r/fpv local chiming in!
Head on over and we'll take you under our wing ;-)
Isabel is correct, you should learn flying LOS first, if anything happens such as camera-out, video transmitter-out, ground station failure, etc. It will be immediately apparent how hard flying LOS is.
Fpv is not the next big thing. It's great fun and we fit in well with the regular RC crowd, gliders and gassers and autonomous flight pilots (UAVs). But fpv sadly requires a lot of time, technical knowledge and of course...money!
As an advocate for the hobby however I will point you in the right direction.
Go here to learn about everything RC related
Here to learn about fpv specific flying
Here for cheap aircraft, radio transmitters, batteries, everything
Legality differs from country to country but the rule of thumb is stay away from populated aerodromes and stay below 400'/120m AGL. Be respectful of other people and be safe.
Now for some YouTube series to get you started This guy is pretty much the Godfather of fpv
And these guys are the ones who brought RC flight to the masses
Happy flights!
