This is taken from wikipedia :)
On 2 February 1989, the first prototype JAS 39-1 crashed on its sixth flight, when attempting to land in Linköping. The accident was filmed in a now famous recording by a crew from Sveriges Television's Aktuellt.[1] The pilot, Lars Rådeström, remained in the tumbling aircraft, and escaped with a fractured elbow and some minor injuries. The crash was the result of pilot-induced oscillation (PIO). Extremely gusty winds were also a contributing factor.

@ahpuesbru No, he didn't :)

@thefsxflyer He didn't die! ;)
This was one of the first test flights with Jas 39 Gripen, and I think they got some kind of technical problem that made the plane to act like this.
But the pilot survived and the plane was in very good shape afterwards.

amazing she didnt blow up

Shit that was horrible!

I dunno, that was atrocious. I'd have to call computer problems on that, I mean there's no way a guy who is skilled enough to even be allowed to sit in the cockpit of one of those things (Is it a Eurofighter or a Typhoon?) would be THAT bad.

Did he die?

@marechalrommel Looks more like the SAAB Gripen... The canards are smaller compared to the Typhoon... O.o

I don't think it was that bad!! I'm sure a little duct tape will have it flying in no time!!
-
is that a eurofighter?

Watch the video again. Tell me what position the plane is in at 19 seconds? Nearly rolled over. What would happen if he ejected when "nearly rolled over"?
What I think you saw was a piece of the left wing. I think he tried to control it, but ejecting is not an "instant" thing. There is a slight delay, blows the canopy off, ejects pilot - etc.
He would not have had time to calculate all the factors in to eject safely.
