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.
