    They’ve still got the same danger as helicopters. If something goes wrong, you can’t glide and you’ll likely just fall out of the sky.

      You do glide. The rotor providing lift isn’t connected to anything, the lift is provided by horizontal speed. You’d have to literally hit a building, a mountain, or power lines to crash the things. You don’t need a pilots license to operate them, because you basically can’t crash them and the entire aircraft weighs quite a bit less than a car.
