I think the driver hit the breaks too fast/hard.

bugger! *downunder

Adding video to channels (Downunder) - requested by spoco2.

I'm adding BUGGER! to my vocabulary now.

Tail wind perhaps?

it's been made private. I can't watch it.

Thanks for letting me know! Fixed!

Landing on a grass field is not the same as landing on asphalt. It's a much softer landing and you can't drop the plane and use full-on friction to slow the plane. I spent a lot of years hanging out on my grandpas grass-field airstrip (over 150 planes). This guy dropped too soon and then applied the brakes causing an instant flip.

this is how I always land my planes. You can just get out onto the wing and use it as a runway to your car so you don't get your shoes all muddy

.

Damn you physics

I haven't heard anybody fart

Looks like the landing was expected, the flip at the end probably wasn't.

I bet you have had this same experience with the opposite sex because you are a damn expert! JK boner, jk.

That might have been self-induced at two levels.
1) He appears to hit the brakes a bit too hard--and just like you can launch yourself over your handlebars if you hit your front brakes too hard, physics bites him in the butt and
2) In my imagination, they might even have been competing to see who could pull off the shortest landing---with the start of the landing having to be between the sets of cones that everyone is standing around and the shortest landing up to that point (when he broke the airplane)marked by the orange cone that he flips the Cessna just after...

The trick here, if that's it, would have been controlling his approach speed better---and hanging on the edge of a stall or even have parts of the wing already into the stall as he landed---slower speed, short distance---no desperate last minute stab at the brakes

I think I see why they named that model the 180.

Read the title and thought of that video of people having accidental sex. Not sure why.
