The scariest thing was just how quickly it all happened. If you had spent any time at all trying to fix the collapse, you wouldn't have been able to deploy it seems.
@yojojonathan You are correct. I made several mistakes that day, the reason I took my hands off the breaks for a second was to get my speed bar out. This was mistake number two, the second I applied the speed bar I hit a nasty rotor which together caused the initial collapse. I should have flown with more input and then after getting out over the valley thrown big ears to get down quickly. Incidentally the only thing I did do successfully was get down quickly!
