kb9tdj Senior Member  More info | Mar 30, 2010 21:59 | #1 Here a couple of pics from about a year ago that I just came across. The pilot lost power in the left engine and tried to set it down in the field. He was thrown from the aircraft when the right wing hit the ground and had some cuts and scrapes but was otherwise unhurt.  2.   Scott

That had to be one heck of a spin to have ejected the pilot out the door. Almost comical in a weird way. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

from what i remember, when making an emergency landing, you crack the door so you can get out. if you leave it shut, there is a chance that the door could get stuck shut and you'll be trapped inside. maybe he unlatched his seatbelt as well? |Sony A7r|Rok 14 f/2.8|24-105 f/4L|40mm f/2.8|Metabones IV|

I've only heard that in reference to a water landing. When you are sinking the water pressure can prevent the doors from opening. Interesting thought about doing it on land. -Ryan
