That was one lucky maneuver. To attempt "the impossible turn" from a couple hundred feet is a stall/spin waiting to happen. It was darn near that anyway. Those pilots had a greater power looking out for them. Should have turned 20-30 degrees left or right and picked a landing spot. Good that he had the sense to keep that nose down for airspeed and not resist the temptation to pull as the ground gets closer. Best to fly it in control to the scene of the crash with the slowest airspeed. Hope they fully recover from their injuries.
