When "I" watched the video..... Afterwards , I noticed his plane looked
"Flyable" ...Did he just Panic , and pull it too soon ?
Did anybody notice that ?
Gotta Fly...

Hard to day in this case, there didn't seem to be any major structural
damage but there could have been control failure... although my impression
is that most of the BRS deployments I've heard of seem to be the pilot
panicking after an engine failure. When my engine gets quiet (and it has,
more than once) I'm gonna fly it down if I still have control (though I've
never had a BRS on any plane I've owned). Once you pull that handle you
surrender all control.
In the pilot's defense though, he didn't have a lot of time to analyze the
situation before he got too low to deploy the chute. OTOH, it looked like
he was holding the camera in his hand... possibly paying attention to the
filming and not what was happening outside his airplane. Certainly it
looked like the pilot of the tow plane was taking evasive action before he did.

Well couple of reasons, real busy and just now started using Web Access here. Not much to update yet. I am doing a lot of work on the Beech Sierra that I use for charters when I am home. I was contracted to fly cargo (bank checks) with the Sierra and it looks like every part needed to be OH after about 3 months of that. So the Kolb is sitting in a corner waiting for its turn.
Sure would like to finish it if only to get everybody at the airport to stop asking me if I am going to finish it, or when!

Immediately after the collision, it looks like he was stalled out and didn't give it time to know if he could control the aircraft or not. Given a little more time and altitude he might have regained control and made a safe emergency landing.
But in the end, he walked away and repaired the aircraft so his decision was not a bad one.

Admittedly not being there and seeing only 40 degrees of the entire thing, I
was struck by that as well. I am wondering why he pulled the chute. It did
not appear to have been a mid air. Did I miss something as well?

You can hear the tow rope wrap itself around the prop of his plane...
I think with the altitude he was at and the fact that he didn't know if the rope caused any other structural failure, I think he made a good decision to pull the chute and live to fly another day!
