He just wasn't moving fast enough and the wing stalled.

Oh dear, an airshow failure. Aren't there like hundreds of cases where these airshows have failed? I just don't see why its such a big deal and why not acknowledging it is worth being called a cave dweller.

Also, if you people are probably wondering why the video has so many dislikes, it probably has something to do with the way how it shows a replay of the guy dying as if "OH LOOK AGAIN! SEE THAT? BOOM! RIGHT THERE!". I don't see how it could be more insulting unless the editor of the clip played a slow-motion replay.

any machine will blow up if it hits the ground at 200mph

ramps can't explode like that

screws can't explode like that

levers can't explode like that

pulleys can't explode like that unless it's a crane

wheels and axles can't explode like that unless it's a ferris wheel

inclined planes might explode

Likes and Dislikes on a video like this are pointless since a "like" implies that you enjoyed the video and vice versa.

Anyways, wait until they have an investigation, it might have been pilot error, or he may have potentially hit a pocket of dead air.
