It'd blow their mind how easy it is to crash in manual mode with no experience.

One neat thing is that it has what I call the "oh shit button".

If you feel like you're going to crash, hit the button and disables manual mode, rights itself and hovers in place. Near immediately.

As long as you have your finger on that button (and practice using it), it is a pretty safe way to learn.

Best to go in manual mode with a bit of height and in an open area first too.

Definitely this. Use a simulator for a while first.
