shouldnt be released?
why not?
it doesnt bring the pilot into disrepute, just shows that he got caught in a situation that got the better of the aircraft.

lessons i would take from that video.
make decisions earlier.
turn so that you are turning over the centre of the valley, never turn toward the ridge line.
never let your speed decay.

if he had turned toward the right until near the ridge then turned left he'd probably still be here with us.
ymmv.
