Wow, well done to the pilot
It looks to me like a desperate attempt to get back to the field at all costs, resulting in a moderately steep turn after which the aircraft had no airpseed or inertia left and just flopped onto the ground.
I suppose some would see that as a good result, however he was indeed incredibly lucky not to cartwheel it, and judging by the way it flopped onto the ground, very lucky not to stall/spin before he got there.
So you can say a lot of things about this video, but not that it was a demonstration of skill. It was a nearly out-of-control arrival and the pilot was very, very lucky.
Having said that, I don't know the area so maybe it was the best choice in the circumstances...
I'll just go and put my nomex flight suit on... righto, flame away...
