This video is not of those small planes but just failed gay small helicopters. Perhaps the gay pilots and passengers grabbed each others' "sticks" and it failed?

All nice planes.
The big thing is to take lessons and follow advice of other pilots.
In a handful of UL and experimental accidents where I'm familiar with the pilots, only one involved structural failure. All the rest were pilot error; flying a good airplane into the ground.

It's cold up there. The adiabatic lapse rate is about 2C/1000 feet of altitude. I didn't watch the whole thing, but he referenced temp. He took off from Edmonton, which is already at 2200'MSL. Going up about 8000' feet is a 16C temp drop, on average. If it was 20C (68F) on the ground, then it would be about 4C at 10,000, about 39F. He mentioned a battery temp being 4C.
