We run a test flight, then use the "return home" button, only to get stuck in a tree. The video continues shooting while you see attempts to dislodge the drone from the branches.

As you may know, the Louisiana Marathon passes right in front of our house. I had the idea this year that it would be fun to fly the drone up above the runners as they passed. Instead, I damn near knocked an exhausted runner in the head. My co-spectators refused to allow me another test flight.
