I presume the pilot would not want the thing coming down on top of him.
Weight high isn't unstable, it's meta-stable. Which means, if you keep it oriented, just like on a Segway, it's fine. It's when things get out of control that you get instability.
Even so -- I suspect the center of gravity isn't that far from the plane of the rotors, and possibly even below. Where are the batteries? How much do the motors weigh?

Obviously, we can't have infinite voltage, or the universe would tear itself to shreds, and we wouldn't be discussing Segways.
