Please note the design of the Lancair shoulder harness is such that without an inertia reel, you cannot reach the fuel selector while wearing the harness. As for the impact and sink rate, the terrian surrounding the crash site is such that Tony was skimming over the tree tops trying to milk it in to a clearing. He took the only option he had and from what I saw on site, did an amazing job of flying.
