Perry pointed to other red flags that suggest Jacob choreographed the event. In the video, Jacob implores viewers to always wear a parachute while they fly and credits his for saving his life. But "wearing a parachute is difficult when you're flying a plane that small," Perry said. "It would require removing the seat cushion or some other modification." In several other YouTube videos that feature Jacob piloting small aircraft, he is shown without a parachute.
Mr. Jacob, a former snowboarding Olympian turned YouTuber with more than 100,000 subscribers, said in a statement on Saturday that "I'll happily say I did not purposely crash my plane for views on YouTube." "Given my background I could see why people would think that," said Mr. Jacob, who is known for daredevil adventures such as skydiving and snowboarding in Iceland. "I've been filming everything I do since I was 5 years old... People can believe whatever they choose," Mr. Jacob said.
