I landed with battery just below 30%. I did the both sticks down and in thing to kill the motors. They stopped and I reached in to change the battery. Suddenly, the Mavic started up, seemingly wishing to return to home? (it couldn't have been any more than 2-3 feet from where it took off, BTW). "Luckily" (I guess LOL) my hand triggered the motor stop before it spun up - no damage to the hand or the Mavic.

Something to look out for I guess - I'm sure there's a way to prevent this in the settings. Any ideas are welcome -- if by chance (miracle) I figure it out myself, I'll follow up with a solution.
 
Did you check out the TXT and/or DAT flight logs? They might explain what happened.
