Problem?
My Mavic Air has thrown herself in to a wall, I'm suspecting that it was a sensor fail. It's supposed to stop before hit the wall right ?
Help me understand what happened to avoid myself and anyone to doing it again.

Your quad lost some GPS signal (From 12 to 9, then 8 connected sattelites) as seen in your YT video.
Turned to OPTI (ATTI) mode then Bang. :(
 
Sensor fail? Most probably not. Pilot error due to flying in reduced GPS signal strength area & not recognising change to ATTI mode? Most probably yes!
