Why Trevor Jacob's Crash Was Unusual

In this video, I explain the usual procedures for engine failure and emergency landings. As a private pilot, I have trained for this. I can't comment on what Trevor Jacob did, but I can explain what we are trained for and what most pilots would do if they didn't have a parachute (which is usually the case). I provide you with the information on what would usually happen so you can make your own mind up on the legitimacy of Trevor's explanation of events and why he jumped.

Please see the amazing footage links below of the brilliant pilots that heroically dealt with engine failure on camera and walked away.
