There are a far fewer pedestrians and walls and lamp posts and motorcycles in the air than on the ground, though, so there's a lot more margin to be awful without endangering anyone other than your own family.

Well, a car falling from the sky (car crash or ran out of gas) probably wouldn't be very safe either. I'm absolutely not trusting the average nitwit who pays more attention to Instagram than to the road to operate something akin to a mini-plane.

At present it takes considerable effort or lack of skill for someone to crash their car through the roof of your house. Once morons can fly, all bets are off.

Yes, but there are still pedestrians and walls and lampposts and motorcycles on the ground. I would imagine accidents would be far more disastrous and dangerous than in 2D.
