I tend to agree with you, and that was definitely my first thought. However we don’t know what was going on when this happened. If it was just sitting on the stand and fell over that’s a problem, but they were clearly getting ready to move it and may have been transitioning to a set up where they could lift it. It’s possible (albeit unlikely) that this was a risk that they had calculated and put some countermeasures into place for.
They just dropped one of these out of the sky from 8 miles up, but since the risk was managed in a very visible way it generally wasn’t considered a safety issue.
