Think it's a bit too early to say with certainty that BBD went uncontrollable after the collision which made the pilot jump. Being strongly hit and not knowing the extent of the damage the pilot may have not wanted to wait to find out - he was so low he used his only chance to get out while he could. Even if the controls were still intact he could not be blamed - many pilots died trying to salvage damaged planes which went then uncontrollable during landings.
It's going to be interesting to read the Accident report when it comes out.
