Wow, 'lucky' guy. He must have broken some bones by hitting the ground like that, than wake up and try to eject.
Engine trouble or just a hard landing?

Pilot was lightly hurt; not serious thankfully (although this is reported to be an incident of more then a year ago!)

Cause is expected to be engine malfunctions / loss of power -> leading to a rough landing as seen on the video.
