The last time I spoke to him, which was on Thursday, the engine had not yet been examined, but he ended up in a not so good paddock after the engine failed.What was the mechanical fault Ausstork?- 1

You gonna donate towards the $30,000 replacement of his aeroplaneI'm with Bexr-B on this. As long as the pilot is OK, humor is fine.With every activity that involves a major chance of head injury, the person wears a crash helmet. Every test pilot and fighter pilot wears a crash helmet. As aircraft got faster and more nimble during WW2, helmets improved to offer better head and neck protection. Even wearing a helmet whilst riding a bicycle is proven to reduce head injuries. If you want better head protection in the even of crashing your aircraft, you're well advised to wear a helmet.As regards the attempts at humour after the crash - the pilot survived with minor injuries, and half of Australia is always ready for some "black humour" after an NDE where the person survives without any serious injury.I've survived pouring boiling water over my groin area (whilst only wearing jocks), with devastating results - yet probably 90% of the blokes I told the story to, thought it was hilarious.
I thought otherwise, having suffered agonising pain and an extended recovery period - but to all those other people, burning your family jewels only meant hilarity.
I can understand their point of view, they didn't experience the event - but I didn't get angry at them, it all comes back to perspective - and black humour is pretty common.
Do you realize the blokes you told your injury to, were your mates? you're not his mate. You're a complete stranger. A faceless print on the internet.

Actually it was a proposition, notice the question mark, along with some hard earned examples to possibly explain some people's background's as to why they can find a position of humor in situations with good outcomes (relative).
It's OK to laugh at yourself, but not have clowns laughing at you. The man has lost his aeroplane through a mechanical fault and deserves a bit of sympathy not a lot of stupid smartarse, "how good am I ?" remarks. I'm disgusted with the lot of you.Actually it was a proposition, notice the question mark, along with some hard earned examples to possibly explain some people's background's as to why they can find a position of humor in situations with good outcomes (relative). -
Why would he have to be embarrassed by a bunch of bighead know-it-alls mouthing off making assumptions about it? A man loses his aircraft and you make fun of it. I hope it never happens to youFirstly he’s safe; I wish all accidents were like this. Secondly do you want us to analyse this accident seriously and embarass the hell out of him? -
He landed on a chicken farm in fact. Why does the media talk BS. He was nowhere near the zoo.Point taken
