I don't think that this had anything to do with a slippery deck. First, even on a dry deck a plane can't stop by itself if it misses the wires. That's why they have barrier wires hung a few feet off the deck, which snag the landing gear if it doesn't catch a wire. And they're SUPPOSED to have a big net called a "barricade". It looks like he came in too hot and high, touched down after the wires, and bounced the barrier, which took off his left main-gear. That's why he spun out like that.
For whatever reason, he did not engage the arresting cable. Without that, he could not have stopped under any circumstances. This is also the reason carriers have gone to canted flight decks.
Ejector seats that would make it possible to survive an ejection while on the ground (or deck of a carrier) and travelling at a relatively low speed were not in production at the time that the Grumman Cougar entered service.
was the aircraft's right wheel fully extended when landing? seems to me it was only partially extended when compared to the left wheel at 0.02? well, at 0.06 it certainly broke off and bounces about till 0.07 when it bounces off deck
That's an F9F "Cougar" Swept wing. The straight wing version was called the
"Panther". The flight deck crew does not have any cold weather gear on, not even jackets, so its not likely the deck is frozen. The pilot is trying to keep the aircraft traveling straight down the deck to prevent the aircraft from rolling, and as entering the water is far more survivable in an impact that is along the axes of travel (front to back), than perpendicluar (sideways) to the direction of travel.
Quick thinking on both the pilot's part AND the Officer of the Deck/Helmsman/Captain. I noticed that the jet evidently tried to control to the right and that the carrier's bow began to immediately swing to the left to avoid running him over. I don't know where the footage came from but, I'd guess Korea. I think that's an F-9F Panther and the deck looked a bit frozen during the clip. Probably the winter time?
Did the pilot survive?

Awesome sound effects! XD Strange that the pilot refused to eject. Make your depth 200 feet :P Hope he's OK.

I don't think there's much of a survival rate if you're run over by the ship, too. :)
