Well, even though the plane was very close to the fence he was on the wrong side of the fence. Most clubs require a courtesy announcement “on the runway!” So the people flying their RC Aircraft are aware. Their eyes are focused on their airplane and not on the runway and who may be wandering there. I speak from experience, I lost an E-flite P-38 Lightning because some knucklehead wandered out onto the runway to launch a plane without announcing his presence. I gave the courtesy announcement “landing!” I didn’t see him until I almost hit him. I crashed trying not to hit him.
My guess is this wasn't a "club event", but instead was some guy with an RC plane, having fun at the park, while another guy, just minding his own business, was walking around the park, and now needs reconstructive face surgery.

I've never gotten a hole in one, but once I did hit a guy. It's way more satisfying.
