You have to crash a couple. It's part of learning. I had flyaways above the Arctic Circle, where GPS is iffy. Always managed to get them back though :)
I had the same thing happen to my in Inuvik. Managed to get it back by a quick switch to manual mode. A bit scary at first!

Try a Syma X20 to learn with. They sell in the $20.00 range. You can learn with it inside and then take it outside when you feel confident with it. A good inexpensive way to learn.

You don't have to crash any to learn. You need to be sensible about it and take small steps and be as concerned about flying it as if you were in it yourself. I'm a pilot and had no drone experience and bought the Mavic Pro. Took it easy in beginner setting mode and took time to get used to. Eventually I went into the standard flying mode and never had an accident. Sold that and bought the Mavic 2 Pro and luckily all is well.
Probably 90% of the accidents and fly-aways have been shown to be pilot error, or better said, operator error because they sure were not what I would consider to be "pilots". Drones are amazing but you need to treat them as expensive flying cameras and not toys and approach the flying side as if you are a pilot and things should go your way. I did like the cartoon though.
