He never explained how he converted 2K
feet of altitude into a cartwheel?? Personally I prefer landing on the
wheels and not the wing tips. :>)

Crash at Reno
There was an seminar at Sun and Fun years ago where they
talked about how to best crash an airplane without a suitable place to
land...and this guy did it...a cartwheel. The energy is dissipated more
slowly and the G Forces are minimized. They looked at a number of crashes
and found that in those that cartwheeled, the pilot walked away. Your
comments?
