Clearly this technique works, but it does put extra stress on the drone and it is counted as a crash in your flight statistics. It is best to avoid it when you can and instead do a palm landing. Simply have the drone in front of you, about head height, facing away then press the land button. The drone starts a very gentle descent which allows you to hold your palm flat underneath the drone and intercept it at about chest height. This is very comfortable and it is still high enough above the ground to allow you to have a second attempt. If it is all going wrong just nudge the throttle up a little and try again. Success relies on your palm being completely flat.
One point I have discovered by personal trial and error is that when doing a hand launch after any form of a crash there is a strong chance that the hand launch won't work as planned and instead of looking super-cool any onlookers will see you throw your drone into the air and miss, the drone falls down with all the grace of a day-old calf on ice skates. You can avoid this by always powering down and restarting the drone after a crash.
Make a point of practising hand launches and palm landings if you are ever in a situation where you know you have done all the proper flying you are going to do that day but you still have life in your flight battery.
I had a prop failure which caused my Anafi to crash so now I try to reduce the risk of this happening again. Avoiding the twist-of-death landing as a routine seems reasonable. When you need to grab it, if there is a risk of it otherwise falling into water or hitting somebody, then do it. But don't twist it when you could just have it touch down softly on your palm then automatically cut the motors.
