Not sure where that is said in the video... but when that is said in youtube videos in general, generally they already had the idea to do it some time later, and for this video release it was going to be something else, or at least filming something else, but that idea fell through at least temporarily for whatever reason, so they decide to do the other thing earlier than intended. Which could still have involved a good bit of planning, earlier than that particular day, or at least early on the same day, but likely it was already in the works and it just came to fruition earlier than intended. Hence, "we weren't planning on this episode today". That doesn't at all mean that it's completely spare of the moment with no time to spare whatsoever. Though.... that still isn't ruled out, either.

You can fly as risky or safe as you like. Sure, flippy-floppying close to concrete walls like Steele is fun but it'll quickly cost you an arm and/or a motor. Just cruising around over grass is somewhat boring but it'll train your muscle memory and you can go from there with rolls and flips without much risk of breaking your quad. Just one thing: If your video connection drops out just disarm. Do not try to fly through it, you'll end up crashing your quad with no reference where it went down (except if you have GPS and the battery did not disconnect and you have either telemetry or get video back).
