That would be okay if you were flying forward at a snail's pace so that initial contact doesn't take out the drone. i'm thinking of all of the times my Roomba has plowed full speed into something and then slowly backed away. If drone behaved that way, it wouldn't be very good. i'm also thinking of all of the times my drones acted that way when i was learning to fly and getting cocky. it wasn't good for them

Maybe this behavior should be adopted once a certain relative altitude is reached.

Otherwise, yes ... I can see a world where this procedure is catastrophic.
