Anyway, we do not know what happened to the aircraft involved in the accident in Switzerland. Time and a thorough investigation will tell us.
errr...he's obviously loosing control probably leading to a stall afterward, we just can't see from this video:
Too much "jumpers" in the back, out of CofG, nasty angle of attack (The part where you see the aircraft going up yes!) All that combined usually leads to a stall.
Not referring to the accident in
Switzerland but the video linked in post #7
