I would guess that the root of the wing killed the right seater as it
sheared off - a strong chance that the root entered the cockpit.

what I fail to understand, is while he was still above tree top height..
he
did not do a 90 right into that golf course.. trees are more forgiving

concrete power poles..

I wondered the same thing - the other thing I found surprising is that this
was a fatal accident - from the point at which the aircraft hits the wire it
appears to come to a halt quickly and then drops vertically. Sure, nothing
I'd like to try in practice, but I didn't see anything that I would have
thought would have killed anyone, assuming they were belted in good and
tight.
