This guy was lucky only in that he was flying the right aircraft to hit a tree with!
I fly one of these aircraft – the passenger area is a box made of alloy honeycomb and is immensely strong in any accident.
Also the pilot and pax sit on top of the wing carry-through spar which is a tubular structure – also very tough and great for impact absorption.

Glad the guy was alright…! Good footage. 5 stars.
