glad no one got hurt. It almost looks like they were trying to land downhill which is not a good situation. I always landed going uphill regardless of wind direction for hills greater than 8 or 10% slope otherwise you just keep flying down the hill hopping on the way. But alas, s$#! does happen even to the best of them!

This was not a fake. The accident happened on 7-Feb-2009 at Kolo Airfield. Co-ordinates S 24 23.58 E 27 54 50. Two people on board no-one was seriously injured.

u need slower approach and a big flare, you had forward pressure to keep the nose down and that caused the flip

December 25th, 2009 at 4:10 am
nah, it was going too fast to land, but probably too slow to get hurt if the people were strapped in
December 25th, 2009 at 4:10 am

hope nobody was hurt!
December 25th, 2009 at 4:10 am
I hope nobody was hurt but I can’t help wondering why the pic didn’t abort the landing and go-around… Surely he could see by the second or third bounce that it wasn’t going to end well.
