You're right, that roof shows evidence of a long history of neglect. Based on the videos, I'd guess they have needed a new roof for at least the last 30 years or so. And from the Google street view images, dated 2014, you can see evidence of a lot of rot on all front facing windows, door casings, and porch so it's pretty clear the home has missed a lot of maintenance over the years.

If you look at the other side of the roof, i.e. the side without the
glider sticking out, there would appear to be a lot of shingles(?)
missing. I'm not familiar with that type of roofing, but that looks like
somewhat older damage. Am I right about that, or would the shingles have
been blown off when the glider went through the other side of the roof?
