    Ouch!  I see that the BRS chute fired...  That's the woosh noise.

    He made a big mistake: he lost speed before touch down. You can see it at 0:14, he had the control bar full out - into the front tube.  He wasn't gliding any longer - he was falling!  Then he bounced. When he came down again he gave throttle (you can hear it), but he was pointed in a bad direction... If he would have kept straight down the runway, he could made made a new circuit (go around).  You can see, he wasn't flying straight at the runway before his landing, he was turning right.  He continued this turn after his bump on ground, because he didn't have enough SPEED for wing control. This is the reason why I teach landings the other way.
