It's pretty easy to lose one of those things "up" if you are over-eager with the throttle--like if it's the first time you've flown it or your motor functions are impaired. Looks like this guy had both those factors at work. First time I flew a quadrotor, I had no idea it had such a climb rate, and the sucker went up fast, got caught in the wind, left radio range in no time, and ended up five houses down. Didn't land on a roof only by miracle, I think. No damage, but I was much more careful the next flight. But I was flying a $40 toy; I think I would have been a bit more careful with a $2000 Phantom.
