Sommat don't make sense:

He claims he was on the ground one minute after engine seizure, at 5000 feet. So he glided (!) from 5000 to 2000, then pulled the chute and hit the deck, all in one minute?

What's the "best glide speed" and glide ratio of a SR22? If it's that bad, maybe I should just tie an engine to a rock!

And yeah, that's an awfully nice flat field he gave up on!
