Clearly a spin from a low speed turn, (turnback?) you can see in the video the beginning of the autorotation.
So far as ejection height is concerned, on a Martin Baker seat , non zero zero, you needed, as. a rule of thumb, a minimum height of 10 percent of your rate of descent to compensate for the seat’s rate of descent at the moment. of ejection.
If, repeat if, indeed, it was a turnback following engine failure it shows the reason, certainly when I was a QFI why lowlevel turnback practice was stopped. Ie, if it does not work out, you may well be faced with a low level ejection in a descending aircraft,ie outside the seat’s performance envelope.
Very sad.
