It might be a sad ending note on this young man's story, but the Youtube comments seem to imply that he recently lost his life. I'm assuming to his bravery with flying into difficult areas. The other videos he's uploaded are also witness to this daring.
My condolences to his family if this is true.
But also in the same vein Johan, why isn't the deadstick take off and landing any worse? I see it as much more risky, the 'landing area' on top of Prairie mountain is relatively smooth, it has some pitch and undulations but no big rocks or other obstructions.
