I've done over 30 paid missions with my Mavic Pro and still making some rookie mistakes...
1. While looking at my iPad shortly after take off and hovering at 100' a gust of wind blow my MP into a tall building. The wind kept the MP against the building as it slowly fell to the ground with the blades grinding against the bricks. MP ok. Blades not. I was pretty lucky
2. I was told I missed something on an insurance job done with my MP and I have to go back for a reshoot. It's a four hour round trip and the reshoot is on my birthday. My fault, my nickel.
3. Just yesterday, after spending about 40 minutes photographing a large complex roof I lost the Micro SD card that held all the images.
After the session I was removing the card from the MP to put it in a safe place. Somehow I managed to lose the card, in my car. After an unsuccessful hour of looking for it I had to notify the customer I might have to come back and do it again. Then I had to contact my company and tell them what happened and for them to contact the customer and reschedule.
