P3 Unexpected Loss of Control upon landing

Dirt kicked up by the props can't be good, for sure. Dirt kicked up on the sonar sensors, as well as bottom camera lens can create havoc in such conditions, and maybe the system got turned back on accidently somehow.
The ARdrone made by Parrot had such a system, and I'm not so sure placing this sort of technology into the Phantom is all that worth it. The sonar sensors and bottom camera on the ARdrone were always going bad.
I'm sure the system is most helpful for those pilots wanting to use the automated takeoff/ land feature, but I personally like to manually take off, and hand catch the model for the most part, again just a personally preference, and so the VPS system is a wash for me, not to mention it is said to be totally unreliable under certain conditions..
