Engine out in two stroke ultralights is not too uncommon. Hell, every time I fly mine I am always keeping my eye on spots on the ground to land if it quits. This is non story IMO. I have had mine only quit once (seized engine due to poor jetting) and was over my runway and it was a non-event. "Modern" ultralights are much better than the "flying lawn chairs" of the 80's but good pilots even in certified aircraft, should always be aware of whats below should the engine go tits up for whatever reason.
