Skydio 2 Crash in the first 20 minutes!

Took my new Skydio 2 drone out on a bike ride with my son and it crashed within the first 15 minutes! So bummed. Have been looking forward to this amazing drone for months and then this.

First almost-crash is at 14:00 minutes, then goes down hard shortly after that.

Really hoping that Skydio will honor a warranty claim.

UPDATE: August 2020
Skydio denied my warranty claim. They claimed I should not be flying above a public street as that is against FAA regulations and that the line the drone hit may have been bigger than .5 inches (I measured it and proved this) but said this line was "around .5 inches" so not acceptable. No warranty claim allowed. This drone is, therefore, for the "great, open outdoors" and where there are no twigs or things around .5 inches or smaller. That makes flying this drone VERY limiting.

I originally got this drone for mountain biking with my family, long boarding with my family, bike rides with my family, etc. Generally this is around areas where there will be twigs and small branches as there are trees in these areas.

The videos I see Skydio advertising show it flying around trees and such, but hitting a twig can upset the drone (which goes very fast at times and can easily rip off the magnetic battery). Without the prop guards that the Skydio 1 had, and the battery not being a "snap in" and is instead a magnetic hold, this drone just got far less attractive to me.

I'm now seeing more and more videos of similar crashes.

Too bad. Really had high hopes. Hope this helps others.
