Mr. Twisty had a bad day.
C11-5 ejection charge failure.
Luckily it just rained so the ground was soft. Nose cone buried 5 1/4" but no damage to the body tube.
One fin popped off due to the shock but minimal damage (I purposely use "weak" glue so fins pop when they come down through trees instead of shattering).
Video of failure here.
