Despite not formally knowing the extent of the lad's injuries (other than from the BBC referred to above), it would appear he was fortunate to survive such a catastrophic structural failure. He appeared to have recollection of the accident flight, and I do hope that he has fully recovered.

The video evidence appears quite significant in this investigation (so everyone filming is not out to get you!)

For reason of the pilot's age, I am sadly reminded of the Southend incident (which is completely different of course).
