It is worth noting how the Skyrider, designed to take a lot of punishment from AAA, is able to regain control and land with a broken wing, while the "full blooded fighter", that aapparently takes less damage in the collision, is wounded to death.
Sorry, but the less damage thing isn't true. He bailed out because he lost controls, it doesn't matter how rugged the plane is or not if it isn't going to fly and the chance of saving it is low then he had to bail out. What you see in the video doesn't cover the whole thing of what really happened to the Mustang.
