Why do you think this Avata 2 crashed?

Since there haven't been a great many mavic problems recently I have been browsing the Avata forum over on the DJI forum and came across this one

the thread is

Avata 2 crashed on Day 1

Hey everyone, I'm really disappointed and need some advice. Last weekend, I took my Avata 2 for a flight for the first time and everything was going great. Signal strength was solid and I even got some amazing views at my farm and also flying over a lake. But then, out of nowhere, the drone...

Looks like as one post mentioned he flew it into the ground. Stopped, then started again going downwards and while he lost video signal because low and far he continued flying down into the drink too fast for it to stop in time.

The wobble could have been a prop loosing a blade or coming apart, maybe from an earlier crash. The loss of signal could have been just too far away and very close to the ground. When you're flying very low your range is going to be dramatically less than when you're up 100'. It all depends on what's between the controller and the bird. It's all just guessing but that's my theory.

The wobble was simply the instant stop from releasing the throttle.

Just out of curiosity, why post this here? Why not offer your assistance on the forum where it was posted?

Because I think the cause of the crash has been correctly identified in the original thread, but the OP seems reluctant to accept that reason.
I just wanted to see if folks here agreed with what has been said over there, I.e. it was effectively flown into the ground.

That same poster also started with the infamous "there was no pilot error" but please tell me what went wrong. I lose a lot of interest in those posts where people eliminate themselves. I think it shows a lack of accountability.

Only one bit of disagreement - it was flown into the water. : ) That spot is a lake.
