Hi all, i had a strange incident with my spark. I was at a party and the were a few children, who heard that i have a drone and wanted to see it. So i got it out of my car and flew around with it everything was fine. The party was on a hill and i wanted to show active track, so i marked one of the kids and he ran down hill, the spark followed, till it lost subject (because it didnt decrease its hight). So i decreased hight in hope it would find its Target again, But than it started spinning around its axis, like going full throttle left in sport mode. I could controll it in any other way, just couldnt stop it to rotate. I let it go down and crash it slowly in the hill. I found it and started it directly again - no spinning....
So my question - what was that and how do you prevent it, what if it happens in not such a lucky place, like over water or someting...

Whats also to know - i 'm flying with an old android phone sometimes the app is a little slow but fine otherwise and was still responsive during the incident.

Im an experienced drone pilot with other drones too so i stayed calm and it went fine, but still ... what was that
 
So my question - what was that
