Cessna 152 stalls and wing drops at take-off, pilot survives with non-life threatening injuries

Rather a spectacular impact and destruction of the aircraft at Quebec, but lack of fire definitely helped save pilot here. It was apparently a solo training flight, for all we know a first solo. I did training in the 152, had to make quite a bit of an effort to stall it. This one looks not to have reached positive climbing…

I did training in the 152, had to make quite a bit of an effort to stall it. This one looks not to have reached positive climbing speed. It even looks extremely slow here, the incident was inevitable, either this or it would have crashed in the trees. For some reason yet unknown the engine must not have been delivering sufficient power, although it sounds to have been running perfectly smoothly, just maybe not with sufficient revs.
It’s amazing that a harness is potentially capable of saving occupants lives in such a worst-case scenario.
