When at a height of about 300 ft. he was observed to be descending at a very steep angle. Shortly after this, he fell out and was killed. The aircraft turned on its back and landed gently. Accident Report No. 18 considered that the accident was "due primarily to the pilot forcing the aircraft down at too steep an angle, resulting in his falling forward on his control and accentuating the steepness of the descent." It also drew attention to the fact that the pilot was not strapped in and thought it was "quite possible that, in this particular instance, had he been so, the accident might have been averted."
