Surely hitting that SUV was a life saver from what I can see. It provided him with a sudden stop with lots of people around to pull them from the wreck. Had he hit the rocks on the side trying to land on that narrow road, which appears inevitable, he would have cart-wheeled and who knows what that outcome would have been. There is a deep valley to the left in which he could have descended giving him many more options. Or, he wasn't trying to land at all but buzz the SUV and being too close to the hill he could have encountered sudden turbulence or a downdraft. Since they all survived, we'll know soon enough.
