Well, you have an electronic device that has just fallen out of the sky.
So I guess it makes some sense, to remove the form fitted protective wrapping and assess the condition visually (most likely also under a microscope) to see if it does indeed make sense to plug it in or if you risk doing more harm than good. Alternatives being trying to repair obvious defects or unsoldering the memory modules and reading them out either directly or refitting them to a development board for the unit (which would most likely have to be done by the OEM).
Edit: You can see that he's wearing an anti-static wristband at 2:04 and later when bathing the board.
