Seems like he must have had cameras set to transmit their video to a storage device on his person... What did he have four cameras on the outside of the plane? That right there tells me it was staged...

Didn't try to restart the engine? Didn't try to turn around and make it back to the airport or any airport? I could see flat land behind him, the glide ratio might have got him to a flat spot to safely ditch the aircraft. Looks like he had the door open as soon as the prop stopped spinning.
I don't know anything about the guy but he doesn't have much faith in his plane or his pilot skills, but jumping out of a plane in a panic situation he remembers to use his selfie stick and has outside cameras mounted on the plane including one that would show him jumping out?
That says it all. If he didn't want that airplane I would of taken it.

This T-Craft has about 6.5 lbs per sq ft wing loading at gross weight. With littlefuel and no people it probably was down to 4 lbs per sq foot. If it were properly trimmed it should have made a reasonable landing by itself. Most pilots I know would rather stay with a plane than jump out. One of the nice things about a T-Craft is low wing loading. At high altitude the 65 hp aircraft are often out of Hp, airspeed and altitude all at the same time. Take your time and know your surroundings. T-Craft Guadalupe Pass Any Landing…
Reminds me of a writer interveiwing a Alaska bush pilot for a magazine article. The pilot said flying a bush plane in Alaska is the second most thrilling thing in the world. The reporter was a little confused and asked what the first most exciting thing is flying a bush plane in Alaska. The pilot said " Landing It "
It’s an interesting problem, whatever he was up to…dead sticks happen. A lot of these small one-engined planes have a glide-to-drop ratio of something like 6,7:1. If you are at 5k feet (I don’t know how high he was), you might have about 30-35k feet — 6 or so miles — of straight-line gliding ahead, depending. Some maybe 5,6 minutes to think, plan, and execute. Normally, over flatter country, one would take a wide spiral down while studying a landing spot to be taken into the wind if possible.
Of course over the brush covered hills, there’s no real good spot below according to his camera. How far over the hills and away from the flatlands he left, and how high was he, are the questions. If this was real. I did see a valley road there somewhere which at face value would have been much preferable to what he did. But, I didn’t listen to the whole thing to know if we were told how long he had been flying or in what direction he was from the flats.
If it was a stunt, he took a great deal of risk. At high cost.
He succeeded in his original task, however like a Twilight Zone episode, rather than the internet fame he sought, all he's received is negativity, and a pile of legal problems to boot. It took him 5 hours to walk 4 miles. There's several videos in addition to this one. He also recovered the plane. No one has explained how he did that. All theater. Pathetic narcissist.
