Here's a link to that AvWeb article:

I looked at that picture and couldn't imagine what that airplane would have looked like if it was made of sheet metal. These Just airplanes have certainly proven to be crashworthy. I like that there's a strong possibility not just of survival, but of minimal or even no injuries.
The designs benefit from constant testing and development. Troy and Gary are actively flying practically every day. They're not once-a-week pilots or desktop designers; they're pushing the planes hard practically every flight. The factory airstrip and their home airstrips are challenging or impossible for most airplanes, but these guys make 'em look easy, several times a day. Add input from Steve Henry, who takes his planes in and out of amazing spots, and who places high in the standings in STOL competitions with a Highlander and a SuperSTOL built not for competition, but for everyday flying. Then add input from the rest of us.
We wind up with designs that have tremendous capability, and the knowledge that we can screw things up and still fly home, or screw them up badly and still climb out.
