First accident I'm aware of with the Skylark. The cabin appears to have faired well. Not so well for the Rotax, which is no where to be seen in the video. The engine on this plane sits way forward of the firewall. I believe it is the farthest from the firewall of all the LSA I've seen. Why do you suppose this is? CG issues dictate way forward? When I say "way forward" I'm talking like 24".

The engine is there and so is the prop. The prop is white.

Upon the 2nd look I do see it, just missing the cowl.
