Luck wasn't the only thing on his side. Carden has proven to be stronger than most airframes out there and withstands accidents like this fairly well. I've seen another flame out in a hover zero mistakes high and it came out with the same damage. If the airframe was an AW or a TBM there's a good possibility it would be totalled for sure. Please don't start any flaming over that, just my opinion.
