Curious why they decided to only put an apparently safety cage over part of the propellers, that's fine if you don't fall off and never wreck, but I could easily see a mishap exposing a limb to the unprotected region.

Actually a rotating grid may work using the air as its triggering force, once the air speeds up some sort of venturi force enables/disables a safety mesh across the opening.
