I had the pleasure of flying with CMBH in the summer, but not with Pascal Brun and a much more sedate ride. Fortunately the other guests were friends and didn't whoop and wave their arms too much 
The machine was a new one after events the previous summer.

Mk10,
As you probably read in the linked article, theres your answer. However over such terrain outcome usually won't be too pretty in any case, it only take a bit longer from the donkey dies until impact...
Ivor,
But it happened to the same pilot in any case.... and he was lucky to survive. Fortunately he was alone that time.
I've had a similar throw-around while being introduced to a new area by a fellow pilot, and I can't say I was very impressed, much less call it a pleasure.

Ivor,
Engine failures are very rare. Read some accidents reports. 90% of the time the cause is pilot error or a bad decision.
