World First Flying car crashes with inventor inside during test-flight

The world first ever  flying car crashed with the inventor during a test-flight on Friday in in Slovakia.I wonder what will happen if Nigerians start buying this car.I know my people they like showing off their wealth and must buy it.I pray they rectify the problem before it causes more harm than good.

A statement released by the company read below.

"The AeroMobil 3.0 experimental prototype is currently undergoing a rigorous analysis and testing programme. 
'During one of the test flights that took place on May 8, 2015, the inventor and test pilot, Stefan Klein, encountered an unexpected situation and activated the advanced ballistic parachute system in an altitude of approximately 300 meters (900 feet).

'The system has proved itself fully functional and landed the entire vehicle without any injury to the pilot. The detailed data and overall experience from this test flight will be thoroughly analyzed and the results will be used in the ongoing R&D and improvements of the prototype. 
'Testing of the current prototype 3.0 and further product development will continue after the replacement of the damaged parts.
'In the process of developing new vehicles, especially in the prototype phase, the possibility and likelihood of an unexpected situation is a natural part of the testing program. 
'This is a learning period which allows us to detect and subsequently refine our design. It is necessary to test the prototype in every way possible to establish its limits and to improve on them. 
'The flight recording details will help us learn from the data and improve the performance of the vehicle prior to our next flight test."
