WOW!! I'll tell you what after watching that I don't think I'd own an aerobatic airplane without a BRS on it!!
My Spanish is poor and getting worse all the time. So was the guy alright, no injuries?

That should definately sell some BRS chutes right there. Wonder what caused the fire once it was on the ground, maybe just the dry grass might've caught once that hot engine rested on it.

I'm amazed that BRS Chute didn't get wrapped around the plane the way it started rolling. I'm even more amazed how gently he came down. Sucks the whole thing caught fire.

Load factor certification for aerobatic planes is +6/-3...wings might not be as strong in the negative direction if the plane was built to certification standards and no better.
