Look at the guys channel he constantly has crazy out of the ordinary shit supposedly happening. He’s a bullshit artist.

I'm sure if I was doing of thirst if make sure to place the camera at the proper angle to capture drinking from the creek before I started drinking too...
Reminds me of David Lesh and his 'crash' into Half Moon Bay minus the parachute.
and for being super thirsty, he sure didnt drink much at all.
just another jerkoff attention whore.
Yeah it seems pretty shady. Too many things worked out way to well, managed to land near the crash site, ( which I've never sky dived) so I don't know how achievable that would be without planning and trying to. There were a couple of sizeable open valleys that I would tried to get closer to. He appeared to have pretty good elevation, seemed like enough time to call in the mayday before bailing.
Fuck this guy. Way to destroy a classic aircraft that doesn’t have very many copies left, all for the purpose of creating his bullshit “content”. I hope he chokes on 1,000 dicks.
Jussie Smollett Convicted Of 5 Of 6 Counts Of Orchestrating Fake Hate Crime Against Himself
A jury of six men and six women deliberated more than nine hours over two days before finding Smollett guilty of five of six counts of disorderly conduct, accusing the actor of staging a fake racist and homophobic attack against himself in January 2019, and then lying to police about it, in a...
chicago.cbslocal.com Disorderly conduct is a class 4 felony?
Who knew...
I watched this again. Sad, second of the youtubers looking for 15 minutes have destroyed a Taylorcraft. If there is any justice, he will never be allowed to fly a plane again. Permanent revocation of his pilot's license - no appeal. No respect for any history, no respect for potential damage/death on ground, and pure wanton reckless behavior in 3-dimensions. Pure narcissist.
Also, why is the door ajar before the engine even fails? Or was that part of the gig to spread ashes? 100% this was intentional. As mentioned...how the hell is there video of the plane from ABOVE?

Wasn’t that from him on his chute?
Initially the comment section on his video went crazy. With people posting the same types of things as on here. Now I see his comments are turned off. Hopefully it is investigated, seems awfully staged.
This guy has great backcountry flying content on his channel... his objective take on this exercise of stupidity is done in good taste.
It crashed and he did not try to restart or maintain control. It appears that he abandoned it for the youtube views aka staged it. I think it was the previous owners post that I read on a facebook page where he was pissed that this dumbass wrecked the plane he sold him for youtube likes/views.

Trent is sharp, no drama bull shit. Someone sent me a link to his video this morning also. Especially of so many planes to have to dead stick land a Taylor would be one of them. Especially since it appeared that he had a huge amount of elevation ( well enough to make a safe jump.....). I don't know crap about sky diving but what's super safe ? 5000' 3000' ?

Yeah I watched that as well. He gave a very informative view on what happened and what should happened. I think it was staged.
It’s a special rig for sailplanes. The parachute in some higher performance gliders is in lieu of a seat cushion, so you save weight and get a form fitting chute-cushion that comfortable for hours.
Amazing those camera don’t skip a beat even while crashing
STAGED!!! BTW I don’t understand the fascination of filming yourself

Total scam. The door was propped open before he jumped, cameras all over, has a parachute on, made no attempt to land on the river bed, and hiked back to the plane. Hope the FAA takes his license away.
Trent Palmer just posted another video commenting about this staged crash:
Getting past the nonsense surrounding the crash, it's worth a look just for the cool flying Trent does here.

One would think they would. It’s all about subs.and views. Watching his channel now just encourages this dickhead behavior……..
Most true statement made ever, may we all pay heed.Dude your time ain’t that valuable if you’re posting in the bear pit
100%staged
Yeah, that’s a aerobatic/emergency rig
Wore one for years, as someone who also jumps and can fly a ram air, ours were repacked with ram air reserves, sucks if you ACTUALLY had to bail only to get yourself hurt trying to land or navigate a cumbersome round.
FAA says YouTuber deliberately crashed plane for his video that got over 1 million views
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says a former Olympian who has over 100,000 subscribers on YouTube deliberately crashed a plane so he could use footage of the event to make a video. YouTuber Trevor Jacob had been under investigation for staging a plane crash in Dec. 2021 just so he...
komonews.com Looks like the FAA agrees that this was intentional and has revoked his private pilot certificate.
Unfortunately the revocation only last for one year so he will probably fly again.
Can't they fine him?
I swear trying to become viral on the internet is more addicting than heroin! 
Glad they got his ass
I’m surprised CA hasn’t gone after him for disturbing a bush or lizard or something
Its good he got outed. Should cause all of his social media to crash and burn too?
Just read the dude got his private pilots’s license revoked by the FAA. Which in reality isn’t really a big thing to a dude like that. In cases where the individual doesn’t have a license or the feds feel a stiffer penalty is warranted, they’ll issue fines as well. The feds think slapping $1500 per offense is going to hurt someone who can afford an aviation hobby. Think precision rifles are expensive? They ain’t shit. Some advice I got when starting out flying was: if it floats, flys, or fucks; it’s cheaper to rent it.
Obviously staged by some moron looking for social media attention I hope they revoke this asshole’s license for life.
Maybe some justice?

Should never fly again, all of that for stupid "likes". You don't have a mind for airplanes.Maybe some justice?

“The FAA noted that Jacob did not attempt to restart the engine, contact air traffic controllers about the problem or look for areas to land safely. The FAA said Jacob then jumped from the plane "while holding a camera attached to a selfie stick."
wikipedia has him listed as a former aircraft pilot

Yeah, that really pissed me off. Should have his teeth handed to him. If he wanted to pull an illegal stunt and waste a good aircraft, he could have at least used something other than an irreplaceable vintage aircraft (i.e. any number of homebuilts).
Crash a stupid RV or a skycatcher if you just gotta get those likes.
It all goes back to the way these humans view the world. I use the word human as they are not people, just animals and should be handled as such.
There is nothing in the universe that is more important then they are. The world revolves around them. This "stunt" was something I see as a logical next step and what these idiots do. All I can say it would be no loss if the chute did not open and he hit the ground like his plane.
I can't stand to watch the entire video, it just makes me so damn angry. I have to stop the sec he is out the door.....but I thought it was a cub, is it a taylorcraft?

Assuming the above attached is the correct NTSB report, then yes. Taylorcraft.
Makes it worse somehow.
What a dick. I hope he spends some time for his little stunt.
