There's definitely some suspicious stuff going on:
- gave up waaaay too early compared to any pilot I've seen with an engine out
- skydiving rig[1] (bulky, more/less easy to reach handles, steerable) instead of safety parachute[2] (light, one accesibile handle, none/little steering, not intended for high freefall speeds)
- gopro on ~wrist~ selfie-stick
- long and stable freefall before pulling
- before jumping, he opens the door and looks straight down a few times, exactly like skydivers spot the landing zone before jumping
Basically I feel like I've watched an experienced skydiver on a planned jump more than a pilot surprised by an engine out.
