Thats an old video.Ive seen it on RealTV,the bad thing about the bail out is that he hit the rudder and broke either his back or his neck, I can't remember

If he got hurt on the bail out, that really sucks. Much Kudos to the pilot for diverting the aircraft from any spectators. Brave man...Good man. I applaud him. I feel for him. I know how it feels to lose an r/c aircraft, but a full scale...ouch!
