Safety systems in this video......what systems? CG above center of lift is easy to fix by landing upside down on the test dummy. Just to make sure , they verified it twice with same result. The safety system appears to be a really robust test pilot. Old guys best stick to thermals.

The exposed and unshielded rotor blades should really help the Dubai Police with crowd control. Until the first "hit," anyway.
