Classic stall
The manual for my FAR 23 factory built airplane specifies 1.07 times the power off stall speed for landing approach to achieve the book figure for landing distance.
And, being a tailwheel airplane, CASA's Part 61 mandates that for training as well as requiring the student to achieve better than the distance from the book.

Video clearly showed the stall buffet prior to the wing drop.
Very lucky pilot to walk away from that accident.
Air displays and pilots mishandling their aircraft resulting in an accident, second one this year! Not a good look.....

From memory the CASA display guidelines specify 1.3x but it's been quite a while since I've done one.
1. Don't try to land 10 metres above the runway.
2. If you want to land short, use a Supercub!

There's a very subtle f*ck in the commentary at 33 seconds. I'm not surprised!

Happened about 2 years ago so not recent, the bloke flying spent a looong period of time flying heavy aeroplanes around wee waa in the dark so proof that a crowd can make even the best of us push a bit too far. I'm pretty sure the commentary was his wife so held it together pretty well considering! The fact he walked away must be a good selling point now I reckon.

Was taught 1.3 Vs by Mike Valentine during my abinitio on gliders. His words were 1.3 will work for just about any aeroplane, remember it.
Over the years flying with different pilots in unfamilliar aeroplanes, watching them and doing the calculation mentally, i've always found the number to be pretty close to what they fly, and also pretty close to most POH's on types i have flown.
There is always the exception of blokes on bonza's 100 knots over the fence, or some others I know, combat power till the crunch.
