Wow - wasn't exactly a roaring crosswind.. ~7kts? And he was a fairly experienced pilot too - 1422 hrs with 79 on type.

That is what happens if you let your guard down and become complacent.

It could have been a gust and it was a tail wheel aircraft.

 

Gotta be awake with tail wheel aircraft or they will bite you when you least expect it.

Not a lot to do with losing control in a crosswind apparently.

The heading to the article probably needs to be headed better 'tis all... "Pilot loses control" (covers anything! )
