Viral video shows wing failure, chute deployment during air show

By Janice Wood · August 24, 2010 ·

A video that’s gone viral on YouTube shows a wing collapsing on a RANS S-9 Chaos during an air show performance in Argentina Sunday, Aug. 15. Seconds after the wing breaks away, pilot Dino Moline was able to successfully deploy the airplane’s Ballistic Recovery Systems (BRS) parachute, and the aircraft floated safely to the ground with Moline emerging uninjured, according to a report at EAA.org. Check out the video here — the wing comes off about two minutes into the video.
