Yes, and you can also see that, before the shutdown of the engine, the
guy is pulling the yoke quite a bit to gain altitude.
Looks to me that he was pushing the plane over the limits, and the
engine shutdown resulted in a catastrophic failure. Had the rate of
climb been less steep, he probably would have made it back to earth in
a quieer way. As far as I can tell, there were many places where to
land safely, around there.
Anyway, an ultralight is as dangerous as any other plane, IF NOT WELL
MAINTAINED.
