I havent crashed badly yet, but I have a smaller drone that I fly often, and I did fly that one into the side of my house once on a windy day. I replaced a prop and kept flying it.
The cool thing about my Zombie drone is that the metal parts are aluminum towel rack available from Home Depot. The carbon fiber parts are pretty cheap and I can order them today and have what I need at my house in 2 or 3 days.
You can get a Blade MQx to practice with and use a real airplane radio or get one that comes with a cheap radio, just to practice with. My Zombie drone is actually easier to fly than the Blade MQx.

The problem with the blade MQx is that its really small, and the wind blows it around. But it's small enough to fly in your house and light enough that it wont hurt anything that you run into. But it doesnt carry a camera so if you get it too far away from yourself, it's hard to tell which direction it is facing and that is when most people crash.
