Glad he's ok. The guy that hit him wouldn't have been able to see him as his tail dragger aircraft hadn't pitched forward. That's one lucky man. A bit more to the side and it would've been the prop that hit him.

Many years ago I saw a racer ground loop on the landing and kill himself there. They paused for half an hour to clean up and continued.
