I think the biggest thing that has helped me, and a lot of other pilots who have not crashed their craft, is maintaining physical line of sight. Keeping your eyes on the craft is dearly important at all times as orientation and direction can get quite backwards on the quad-rotor. Seeing the perspective of the craft while its in the air is super important to know your direction and speed and of course, surroundings. Just speculating here but a lot of people you see crashing are probably due to them watching the screen far too much and not the craft enough. Get very, very comfortable before taking your eyes off the craft. It does weird things sometimes, loses GPS or catches a big draft, and you need to be quick to react. I guess that also goes to say fly in less populated areas. When people see you flying they immediately want to come over and start asking questions, looking at your screen, and just enjoy the experience. Nothing wrong with all that in the end, just need to be careful not to get distracted by it!
