Higher & Higher &... Straight Down Faster & Faster

Yesterday the long awaited construction started on our road.  The whole road is closed to thru traffic, and they started bringing large equipment in.  Since I haven't used my drone in a while, I figured that it would be cool to take it up above our house quiet a ways and get a picture of the whole site.  I thought, "if I did this once a day, by the end of the 90(ish) day construction, it'll make a pretty good time lapse."  So I took it out for the first time in a long time.  She flew great, just as before.  I took her up and took a few pictures and a short video.  Within a handful of seconds after I stopped the video something happened.  I had been going higher and higher, but randomly the drone lost all power.  At 50-100 meters (160-320 feet) up, with no power it started it's quick decent.  Faster and faster it fell.  About 2/3 of the way down it randomly got power again, and I heard (and saw) the motors screaming to try stop itself before an impact with the ground. But all it's attempts failed (the controller was no use at this point).  Faster and Faster it screamed toward, from my view, right overtop of the barn. It went down below what I could see and I heard a loud BANG followed quickly by a THUD.

As I ran to the side of the barn I found that the drone had made it's high-speed impact on top of the old horse trailer before bouncing to the ground below.  The trailer was unharmed. The drone however is not likely to ever be flown by me again.  For such a fall, I am surprised by the relatively minimal damage.  Two propellers broke (I have no replacements for these), part of the landing support snapped, the camera bent a bit, a number of parts of the camera gimbal broke, bent and don't look too healthy.  Part of the plastic also broke (where it was previously was only cracked), the compass wires broke out of place, a few wires are not fully attached, and when I move the drone I hear lost of small loose pieces rattling around on the inside.  Thus ends my enjoyable journey with the drone.  Thank you lord for blessing me with the enjoyment of this toy.  - it's now for sale as is.
