Yes, in follow mode, the HoverAir X1 flies at my head height. That means anybody around my height can reach it. So, there does need to be some care because the drone doesn't have forward obstacle avoidance. But, like most things, you learn to lead the drone through obstacles (between the trees) or fly in clear space. If the drone bumps into something, then it restabilises and then automatically lands. I think that's quite acceptable for a drone of this weight and with propeller protection.
