An interesting way to get to the beach

I fly one of these, and I sure wouldn't like to land it on the sand like this chap. Looks like he didn't have much choice, but I guess he was quite lucky to walk away unharmed.

good landing, or maybe he was looking at the ladies on the beach and forgot the height thing

I've seen another photo on a different news service where he's nose in. Which accounts for the bent prop (and probably shock loaded engine), and the knackered nose oleo.

But yes, all things considered a good landing.

To be fair, a beach in the states is probably the safest place to land, with all the pneumatic women available for impact absorbing purposes.
