Very lucky indeed. Nice series of shots too. I went to the show on the Saturday so didn't see the crash.
Shame the Mail is a tad late. This happened several weeks ago.

Posted: Tue Sep 14, 2010 12:43 pmAs an emergency responder, he would have been much better off to remain in the aircraft until emergency workers could have stabilized him and removed him. Many people instinctively want to get up and out after a collision, but risk doing even more damage to their back and spinal cord by moving.

This is an high energy accident, with great danger of CNS/Spinal injury..
So if he laid still and awaited the ambulance to immobolize him with a spineboard, then he would be more sure of no further damage.
Luckely nothing serious happened to him in this crash, but it could had been much worse!
