He certainly didn't leave himself very much margin for error - not a difficult manoeuvre to fly over open ground, but between obstacles when you can't be sure of the tail clearance is taking a lot of risks.

That video could so easily have been another crash video - he was just very lucky as well as stupid.

Anytime you are operating close to the ground with airspeed, and your skids are not aligned with the direction of travel, you have made a bold choice about the reliability of your aircraft and your reaction time to an emergency.

Ive always been curious

theres plenty of videos out there of questionable flying.many of them grace this forum

you could easily assume that some of those pilots are members here.

have any of them stepped up to explain themselves? offer apologies for their digressions, or do they hide and hope it all blows over?
