in second video you can see where the seat has flattened out and the pilot's legs are still in the front. considering the forces that took the rest of the chopper apart not too surprised the seat failed. I would guess that along with most of the aircraft weight savings was a factor in the seat build
The end of the second video shows the cable hit clearly. Rotor took it right around and through the tail. Lot of people in close range to a violent event and they all walk away.
