well, at least he had a nice weather day, altitude, a field, and did not flip. it seems the engine failed abruptly at 8K feet.
The pilot reported an engine malfunction and requested to divert to KBBP. The aircraft subsequently crash landed in a field just off the departure end of runway 7 at KBBP. The pilot was not injured. It was later reported by the NTSB that the pilot had serious injuries. Perhaps something to do with the gear legs separating and a hop.
