Hi Mikki ZH,
I'm the "idiot" journalist who wrote this article. I'm also best friends with Adam's wife Tracy. Just to clear up a few things... the family wanted this article written and checked it before it went to print. It was written very soon after the incident and at the time the official line of the authorities was that it was "unclear" as to what had caused the problem... and there were suggestions about wind gusts or parachute problems.
I know a lot of you guys have been burnt by the media and aren't too excited about journos. But in our defence, we're just doing our jobs and reporting the news. That said, I would never have written a story about this if the family hadn't asked me to.
Play safe you guys. Accidents like these are pretty devastating for those left behind.
Cheers,
J
