From Wikipedia: Emeryville Crash
On February 22, 1912, Gunn's plane crashed at the Emeryville meet, dropping 150 feet to the ground.The plane was destroyed, and the building it crashed into was badly damaged.Gunn's manager, Warren S. Eaton, said the accident was due to the plane's motor stalling.
The San Francisco Examiner reported that Gunn fell from a height of several hundred feet, saying "that he was not killed outright is little short of marvelous."Gunn's jaw was dislocated and his body was covered in severe lacerations. He was taken to the Oakland Central Hospital,where his doctor described his chance of recovery as good.
