As I expect that these machines have zero ability to enter autorotation following a loss of power, I suggest that they be restricted to operating altitudes from which a safe power off landing is possible = remains in ground effect.

I believe that some jurisdictions already permit ground effect [only] vehicles to operate without aviation oversight. I presume that this would be practically over water more than land.
