Thank you for sharing this story with photos :) I agree that flying with quadcopter can be very exciting. I have DJI Mavic Pro. And I did Multirotor pilot certificate.
Although catching it with hand when landing is not a very good idea and is always risky especially when propellers are damaged and have micro cracks. And sensitivity for the wind is simple: the lighter is drone the more sensitivity and less stability with strong wind. For example for Phantom safe is below 15-18 m/s of wind speed and for Mavic below 12-15 m/s. For Spark I guess even less ;)
Anyway it is great that you enjoy it. Have a nice flights in the future! :)
