These things happen. It looked to me like a short strip and a steep approach surrounded by hilly terrain, which can cause a pucker factor, especially if the pilot wasn't familiar with the field. I didn't see any checklist being used, maybe that was off-camera. If those were noise-cancelling headsets, maybe he couldn't hear the buzzer sounding. I wonder why the photographer in the back seat didn't tap the pilot on the shoulder (maybe he was wearing a headset also?). Looked like a streak of oil behind the plane, not good. Nice plane, too bad.
