So after a few months of flying without incident - -
Was flying at dusk - brought it back using return home..
Mavic 2 was overhead at 120' and began descending.
I was planning on landing on my deck and noticed the drone was off course about 10' while descending.
Turned off return home and right after, battery warning alarm sounded (15%) -
was bringing it down manually - got to about 5' off the deck when Mavic 2 slowly started going forward on it's own........
Then.... Mavic flipped upside down and flew full speed right into the brick wall (missing me by a foot or two)
UPDATE - - The speed has been debunked - - guess my brain was on overload
Seemed like full speed but in fact only like 5mph
In my defense - it was only about 4' from the wall so it happened quickly
Flight recorder also showed that it did not flip until after it hit the wall
Mavic hit the ground upside down and continued to accelerate.
Had a rough time manually stopping.
Props destroyed - - Drone seems OK
NO IDEA WTH HAPPENED
UPDATE - - PILOT ERROR due to home position not set correctly and Low Battery RTH took over
