This video needs a disclaimer just like the cars adverts: Closed private airport, professional stunt pilot and multiple attempts were used to obtain best results, do not attempt this manoever

The only thing wrong with that video was the pilot saying there is no way to re-start the engine. It is easy to re-start a hand propped plane in flight. You dive slightly to build up speed and if the engine does not want to windmill fast enough flick the stick over to the left agressively and they usually fire right up.
Other wise it was an excellent demo of a forced approach.
