Don't worry a Jabiru looked sideways at it before takeoff, so must be a Jabiru at fault.,

That's not true. Jab's can fly through buildings. 🧙🏽‍♂️

Can’t possibly be an engine failure, not with a Rotax can it???? Glad the pilot survived and hopefully can recover to fly again!

If longeron is rusted that would not assist airframe staying intact.

Despite the hysterical news reporting, it looks like the cockpit has remained largely intact - the pilots injuries are likely to be survivable - a relativly good outcome.

 

Note the orientation of the aircraft, relative to the dirt road behind it - pilot probably trying to land on road and has, unfortunately, overshot
