I learned from your mishap, this kind of information sets in, and hard to forget. Fabulous reconstruction.

Critical to do your settings checks before your flight, especially your Return to Home height in relation to your environment. Over the weekend I had an AC disconnect and a RTH trigger, once I got signal back I stopped the RTH and just in time as the AC was flying straight at a hillside. I couldn't figure out whey it wasn't higher until I rechecked the RTH height and it was set to 40 meters, a setting I have never used. I don't know how it got set to 40 meters but it nearly caused a crash, so it is critical to double check everything, complacency can be expensive.

Great video - you got lucky.
I have had settings reset to defaults after firmware updates, so I check those and max out the RTH altitude
