Push down into the accident report.

...Jim Thompson
At 140 ft that ACES seat must be pretty good for him to only
sustain minor injuries. He must have had just enough altitude for
the chute to deploy and fill.

Ahh. Bummer, that. This explains why the leading edge slats were deployed.
I've flown models into the ground under similar circumstances (it's why I'm
so good at repairing models, and why I don't try flying the real things!).
There's only so much lift you can get, ask for more and you just go splat.

The "contributing factors" portion is interesting -- I suppose it's not
exciting unless they're always almost crashing.

It's a zero-zero seat (aren't they all today?).

I may try again. But I kept getting 404, whatever I tried.
