the moment I laugh at someone’s misfortune
It's hard not to laugh at that video. It's like Abbot and Costello. I'm glad the dude wasn't hurt and I hope he learns from it and goes on to great things in aviation. In fact, someday, many years from now I hope someone plays that video at his retirement party.
Yeah sorry folks.. that 'ladies' comment was a bit insensitive... i do hope he gets back up and perseveres. Trump is a loser. I hope to never be compared to him again.

Haha. Now THAT would be funny in an awesome way
Hey, I have an idea. We can invite the two clowns I quoted to the party show them their bank account having had the value of the aircraft and hangar as a deduction. Wouldn't that be funny instead of all of us having to pay for it.
Ironically , after the video link played an "Instructor " was demonstrating how to land a Cessna 182 . I could not believe he was serious . They sure know how to make something as simple as flying confusing with inaccurate gibberish technospeak .
No wonder the Donald employs people to fly his Boeing Business jets

The looks on their faces would be hilarious.

A few items in rebuttal:
1). I don’t see myself accepting an invitation to any parties you host; you strike me as the sort of dull eyed and slow witted individual whose lack of ability for big picture abstract thought just takes the wind out of the sails of witty repartee.
2). We’re all paying the insurance companies regardless of how many hangars and aircraft get written off. This incident only represents a minor dip in their profits, (which, quite frankly, I thought an ANTIFA / communist / progressive such as yourself would be in favour of).
3). Laughing at a situation and not learning from it is buffoonery. Not seeing the humour in a situation is thick wittedness. Seeing the humour in a situation and learning from it, well that’s being a smart, and potentially a bit of an ass hole.
I’m afraid if you’ve tried to get aircraft insurance this year and noticed the 30% to 60% rise in premiums for piston singles because of very high claims, you might feel less dismissive about this accident.

DId you hear the one about the jurisprudence fetishist? He got off on a technicality.
This accident was profoundly preventable. Insurance should be there for accidents which are much less preventable. Though this pilot meant no malice to our industry, non the less, he was unable to manage an entirely manageable situation, and we will all see an insurance rise because of that. Happily no one was hurt, that will raise our insurance much more.
So, the best thing we (those of us who would like to keep insurance low) can do is to support our peers and our industry to encourage and mentor these preventable accidents away. If we can support new pilots to not have these accidents,we save ourselves insurance increases, and help our industry have a better safety record.
I have seen so many videos, some being "ooo, that could have been me, I've done that!" through to "gad, I'd never think to allow myself to get in that situation!" that hopefully we can highlight these videos so new pilots see the gravity of the situation, accident, or accident prevented. When I was a student pilot, at best we could read the accident reports, and try to imagine what happened, and what errors or omissions enabled the accident. And, if it was a near miss, nothing other than flying club tales. Now, we can watch the multiple horrifying events in full colour, and slow motion, over and over again. As long as in watching we see what's there to be seen - the pilot could have done better! I've stopped watching the Valdez STOL videos, because they terrify me for the needless extended VX climb outs - a severe accident waiting to happen if the engine farts. But for a learning tool of how not to climb away, few videos could be better.
So I'm not laughing at this pilot, and I certainly can't laugh with him, but the video is an excellent learning tool, and should be shown to every student pilot with a briefing! Or, our airplanes will become uninsurable - literally!

That is not (only) why premiums are higher across the insurance industry.
Read about them refusing to insure some condo buildings....it's low interest rates, which hurt insurers. They aren't healthy.

Interest rates have been low since 2008, but my premium went up 35% this year, and that was an unusually low hike.
There is a long term cumulative effect. The entire insurance industry has pulled back sharply in the last year or 2.

I’m sure we agree that demolishing a hangar with a 172 does little to encourage a reversal of that trend!
My point is there is always consequences to policy. Sorry for thread drift.
Everyone wants interest rates low forever -- or negative-- but are surprised when banks don't want to lend (they are sharply pulling back too) or insurers pull back / hike rates.

How does a video like this end up on youtube? Does Canadian Flyers put cameras in their planes or is this his own?
I was wondering that too. Of course education from this is one thing.
Some joyously get themselves off by internet shaming of others. It's apparently a fun hobby these days. High schoolers love to do it to those they don't like.
I endorse this video in relation first motive, not the second.
He likely added power because he was doing touch and goes in the circuit and hadn't been cleared to land? If this was a solo with a full stop then I am confused as to why the full power after touching down:( maybe I'm trying to find an excuse for his poor decision, either way I feel bad for this guy and like others have commented very surprised he was ready for a solo flight.
Hard to see what his feet are doing but after applying full power, I would have expected to see the aircraft yaw to the left (instead of right), provided no rudder was applied, especially asuming the wind is coming from the right. Perhaps he over-corrected for the anticipated yaw? Is it possible there was something wrong with the directional control of the aircraft?
Without proper crosswind inputs, an aircraft will usually yaw into the wind after landing, and depart the upwind side of the runway.
I think the power application was an attempt to rescue squiffy ground handling by taking off again. I don’t detect anything that correct rudder and aileron inputs couldn’t have fixed. Until impact.

I don’t really see the yaw and assumed the aircraft was being pushed to the side but you are correct that the wind was coming from the left. Nonetheless, adding power would have generated left yaw.
