The left hand side appears to be OK

I had a friend who (after total engine failure) totalled a Cassutt Racer during a display (turned the aircraft into matchsticks).

He clambered out, took a few paces, sat on the grassy mound that he had impacted a few seconds before, and lit up a cigarette (think he smoked the whole pack before help arrived.

Injuries - None, the Cassut took all of the forces, leaving him unscathed
Sounds familiar, I believe I might just own that very Cassutt if the event took place in 1997. Much respect to him, I've always said its the one aircraft I really dont fancy having to do a forced landing in......
