Looks like a two seater (tandem) CH-7 Kompress. Anyone with details on this flight? Monk

Monk I am impressed the guy walked away from it. It was probably unwise to let him walk. There would have been a very good chance of a spinal injury that would've been made much worse by letting him walk. Like Hoover's accident when he got a fractured spine which he didn't discover till much later.

The airframe in that thing must be fairly hardy. Though after looking at it a second time I think he was ejected from the aircraft there at the end.

Hitting that probably kept him from getting impaled on the cyclic, though...
