"Old pilots wise-tail" NEVER HAVE YOUR PICTURE TAKEN WITH AN AIRPLANE,ITS BAD LUCK
Wow, so much to say, I won't. I do suspect that with the proliferation of the Go Pro and other mini cameras, we will have the opportunity to experience many more up close and personal encounters with trees and such. Just hope for similar results. Injured pride and airplanes, no injured people.

Glad this turned out as well as it did.. looks like no injuries which is the most important.
I was trained that for an engine failure after takeoff at less than 500 feet to keep wings level and not to attempt such a steep turn. 500-1000 feet turn up to 30 degrees heading either side of runway heading, and after 1000 feet would I attempt a turn back to the airport.
Just my two cents.

Let me guess, he didn't check the fuel or turn on the tanks before his takeoff?
With that aside, faking something like this is still a huge risk. Seems like a VERY stupid idea when you can't guarantee escaping without injury. I would hope that someone who is smart enough to get a pilots license and mount GoPros to the outside of their airplane would have good enough judgement to not stage an airplane crash.
Because then they'd have filmed their own insurance fraud.
