Shame the pilot took the medic with him. That was a terrible piece of flying.

Open crash site by the look of aftermath pics. Otherwise all on board dead for sure. Still, no idea how co pilot survived with minor injuries, totes amazeballs!

No, it's not just you. when there's idiocy of the highest order involved I can only hope that this video sets an example to future pilots that professionalism should reign

+1. Having seen the descriptions I didnt click on the video link. Through work I see the fragility of life and how trivial and undignified an act can take it, and I've always felt watching such footage direspectful and inappropriate.

My personal (and completely non-religious) values and don't judge others who feel differently.

Nope - I have no desire to watch that video.

You're not alone. I hate those things with a passion. In general I detest crash videos of any sort.

There are a group of folk that on finding out i ride bikes and motocross (and road motorbike), their next move is to send me links of bikers smashing themselves to smithereens.

Not interested. I love looking at footage of bikers enjoying themselves and landing tricks and jumps. I like seeing cool stuff, and cool stuff does not include broken bones and skin grafts. I've had too many visits to a&e and too much reconstructive surgery to have any patience for that stuff....
