Why does the camera man just stand there, get over then and help the pilot!
Hambonerhandy
It took me a minute to realize that bit of the tail flying off wasn't some dude doing a swan dive and his parachute failing to deploy.
KommSusserTod
Hey! Hey, you can't park there!
ThorGodOfHammerz
Better keep filming instead of helping this guy who was LITERALLY just in a plane crash smh
Biffa90
I feel like the parachute should trigger a loud siren so people hear it coming

The funny part is how the guy then trips getting out
rojelioenescabeche
Probably the worst injury.
pancakesinthesky
He's probably a bit rattled after the crash anyways. Wobbly legs.
TheUnstoppableWampas
He's not good at keeping things running, be they airplane engines or legs.
GrumpyOldMillennial
I almost got crushed by a steel reel at work. I proceeded to turn around, trip over my own foot, and smashed my face into a safety cage....
Feralkyn
I passed out sick once and the sound of my face crashing into our rats' cage is what woke me up lol
MyDudebroman
They just can't land anything right
MellifluousJoker
Not a crash. It's failure to maintain adequate separation from the ground.
Rustedgear93
Oh, of course. Such a silly mistake.
TheMeanGombeen
Always laugh when people rush to put this stuff on social media for a few likes, when they could have got paid nicely by some news show.

Parachute should only be deployed in an unrecoverable spin. An engine failure should = off-field landing. Source is I'm a pilot instructor.

As a concept this is really cool! You don't have the plane as a projectile, you can recover it and with a plane that small, jumping out /
/ might actually be the more dangerous option compared to this, where you're strapped in.
AlwaysInTheshadows
Worth every penny in that person's opinion

I did not know this was an option v
BidenduexMaximus
cirrus has had these since 1998 it's now standard for the company
StephenDaniels
Something like this system or individual parachutes have been required for acrobatic flight for many decades.
MacklinBurtMacklinFBI
Seen 25+ years ago one was made for passenger planes but if passengers survived but were injured they'd sue. Just cheaper for them to die.
MushroomFiend
...Wut. These are widely available for private aircraft. They've been standard on Cirrus aircraft since 1998. Before that their limited use
was due to their limited availability to ultra-lights due to unreliability of the design for larger aircraft.
JohnMike64
It wasn't that at all. A parachute is considered a risk more than a safety device by regulators. Also designers use it as a crutch
Using a parachute is considered moving into a uncontrolled state which is always worse than controlled.

Jikai1966
I once had my glider in tow while on the highway. Boxed up. Someone smashed into the trailer. It was a difficult task explaining to 1/
insurance what had happened. They just couldn't fathom a car going over 100km/hr running into a glider. 2/2

That fucking moron just filming instead of checking up on the dude...
oldscrotumthewrinkledretainer
But you wouldn't have known he was a moron if he hadn't filmed it.
DeltavliegerJoe
What was he supposed to do? Catch the plane in his arms?
Yell out to gauge how the pilot is doing, if he needs help? Least you can do. If no imminent danger, go towards the pilot and help. Duh.
sonomarco
Was he waiting for the explosion? That would go viral!
somnif
I mean, I'd probably gape in shock for a few moments after seeing a plane falling from the sky.
UsernamesAreStupidAnyways
That legitimately pissed me off. If other people are moving to assist? Fine. Not good. But fine. Here though? They are clearly the nearest ~
~ person to the touch-down. Fucking ACT.
No no, even if you *think* you see other people helping or calling 112, ya gotta do it too. Better too many than too few/none at all.>
If you get there late and are redundant, you can always wave off then. Bystander effect and all!
"Fine" as in "more understandable", not as in "good"
Yeah I got that already.
RocketKokket
Yeah I can't believe he didn't even like yell out and ask if guy was ok!? Id be running to help Incase cockpit stick
VodkaReindeer
I though the black thing falling off the plane was the pilot jumping out in a wingsuit. Maybe he did too!
A wingsuit, nor a parachute, wouldn't do anything at that altitude. However little crumple-zone the airplane has, at that point...
GuestChrist
Every small plane should have one. It's honestly puzzling why it hasn't been made a requirement.
HenryGant
Mu rights.
Wolfshead009
Trying to retrofit this to older planes would be prohibitively expensive. Unlike cars, planes tend to stick around a lot longer.
apocalypse910
Expensive, heavy, added design complexity, not easy to retrofit - only usable under a very narrow set of circumstances.
Gunslinger2071
Expensive
Wonkable
A piper cub is so slow you can bearly kill you self. No need to add the extra weight. It looks like the sys takes 300ft to slow
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
There's a psych issue that people almost never pull the handle before it's too late. "I've got this, I'll have this..." etc.
eovnu87435ds
You have a min altitude and max speed for deployment. If you're not in takeoff, landing or inspection passes, it's generally easier to make
An engine out landing. If you need to use the BRS, often it needs to be your first course of action before trying to dead stick it home
SkeksiLady
Come again? For those of us who don't speak airplane?
rawromg
Glide back to an airfield or wide open space. Dead stick, referring to unpowered landing.
BRS (Ballistic Recovery System) is the company that makes Cirrus's parachute recovery system.
500flyboy
When the engine fails your airplane conveniently turns into a glider. Much better for the environment.
Grillparzer
That’s why helicopters turn into rocks when it happens to them.
itsimpossibletofindausernamethatisnttaken
Autorotation. You actually can land a helicopter after engine failure.
As a pilot friend used to say, it flies like an oven-ready turkey.
blarkk
Yes. Parachutes, the leading cause of environmental disaster. Definitely not just virtue signaling.
SherMattLockSmith
Gliding is great if you are at a high altitude with high speed. Low altitude, low speed means you have very little time to glide and (1)
(2) find a safe landing. Also gliding with full fuel tanks just after takeoff is much more difficult. Deploying a chute and falling....
(3) Straight down rather than flying forward into a tree and breaking the plane up, spilling fuel everywhere, is better for the environment.
Theyre's so many factors involved that would lead someone to use the shoot instead of trying to land it upon engine failure.
IMO the 'chute is for structural failure or if a good weather only pilot finds himself stuck in the clouds.
chute
LongCommentChainAppreciator
Ah shoot - AlwaysInTheshadows (the uncapitalized "s" bothers me >:( )
SwirlyMcGirly
I only use Shoot! brand chutes
SamuthNBS
Like a spin
RabeMeansRaven
You better use that training to get out of the spin first else it's likely you create a situation that will kill you and others.
Usually structural issues force a chute pull. Dead stick vs chute,if there's a good landing spot, land it.Over a city,safer for all to chute
ProphetofEntropy
yea landing on the road would increase risk crashing into a moving car. wrecking the plane worse and more injuries.

Ha, yes.
cheeseplate1971
This one still pisses me off. Do it with some worn out 150 that’s been in a training fleet for 50 years? Not a nice airplane?
Sauce?
KyleButNotThatKyle
Your takeaway is that he should have faked an engine failure, risking people lives, and potentially causing a wildfire with shittier plane?
No? I guess it reads that way? It is idiotic, dangerous, destructive regardless of the aircraft? I hate to see destruction of classics?
SynMonger
It's wasteful and unsustainable. If you're going to do a destructive test, why use an affordable plane that's still useful?
He wasn't performing a destructive test, he was faking an engine failure and bailing out for Youtube clicks.
That makes it worse.

That's was a lot softer landing than I expected

Yeah, when they work correctly it's realy impressive. That plane is repairable too, so overall that's a pretty good day for that pilot.

KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
Same here.
barnwolf
I wonder how much it messed up the engine. Like, are all the cylinders now bent from that sudden stop on the crankshaft?
Zan11
How would the cylinders... what?
MadCatIV
Engine was already stopped, but even if it wasn't the prop would shred before the engine was damaged.
Sudden stops are huge concerns for airplane engines; but that engine was already stopped.
I mean, I figure the front cowling crumpled, but a lot of the force from crashing into the ground went through the driveshaft/cranksaft.
Doesn't work that way. You'd crack the block to pieces before a hit like that would do any more than swage the thrust bearing slightly
if sized correctly and deployed in time, the chute are designed to make the crash not only survivable but leave the plane repairable.
HardOnStrokeFoundation
No pretty sure the chute being pulled on these immediately writes off the airframe. The sudden deceleration will warp the airframe
algoritham
Umm....aircraft carrier arrestors?
hickorybakedbeans
Yeah man, not a single one of those planes was usable again. That's why Japan lost WWII. They couldn't replenish the carriers fast enough.
InsouciantSausage
I doubt the tensile strength of the material attaching the parachute to the plane is superior to steel.
fatman1683
Airframe is aluminum, not steel, and the tensile strength doesn't matter, but they can still be repairable
Oh damn lol, this is what I get for watching so much Forged in Fire
SilverNicktail
Oh, totally. That thing's going to need a new prop, some work on leading edges, but it'll fly again.
