Did the pilot survive that crash?

Tony

Very unlikely

Someone posted in the chatter below the video:

"While I was at Airborne Windsports about a month ago the BRS subject
came up and this incident was part of the discussion. This pilot had a
rep as a bit of a cowboy. He decided (for some strange reason)to
relocate the pull handle from the cockpit to the control bar. When he
rotated and pushed the bar forward it stretched the release cable and
fired the chute. He was lucky and survived the incident."

I have no way of verifying this though.....
