Why are people crashing these phantoms?

I noticed some used ones on eBay and a large majority reported a crash.
Are these things that hard to maneuver ?
 
They are easy to maneuver once you learn how to fly. People just need to take the time to read and understand the manual -- and, spend the time learning how to fly safely. When those steps are skipped, a crash is inevitable.

The controls don't look really hard
I know looks are deceiving , maybe they are getting too close to trees?
Trying to fly in wind??
 
Maybe they should have worked their way up from quads like the Hubsan X-4, who knows? Things can happen fast in our Phantom Pilots world.
 
What goes up must come down ;)
 
They are easy to fly and therefore you become comfortable too quick which leads you to become complacent or take further risks. In other words - cockiness.
Another reason is spacial (sp?) awareness. Standing at the wrong place can lead to misjudging depth/distances. Eg flying between a goal post.
