WRT the debris video: personally, I would be paying more attention to looking for anything falling in my direction. The debris may flutter like falling paper, but they are much more substantial.

Those are heavy objects falling onto a kids soccer field and nobody yells "HEADS UP!", "FORE!" or "RUN FOR COVER!". How considerate.

It looks like they've got plenty of time to move out of the way.

I'd guess looking upwards at some awkward shaped objects falling down, it's not easy to guess where they will come down.

If this ever happens to you and it seems like the falling object is not moving in your field of view: run away at a 90 degree angle.
