Pilots bail out of Sling

The experimental aircraft that was flown around the world recently has crashed into the sea off Ballito. The two pilots bailed out of the aircraft today after a wing separated during spin trials. Police divers on the scene. No fatalities. Anyone with any more?

No wing seperation, got it into a flat spin, and were not able to recover.
