"Pilot Convicted for Decapitating Skydiver with Plane's Wing"

A pilot in France has been given a suspended sentence and banned from flying for a year after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for decapitating a skydiver with the wing of his plane in a mid-air collision. The pilot, identified as "Alain C," had not briefed the skydivers and wingsuiters on board and lost visual contact with them after they jumped. He claimed that the victim, an experienced skydiver, did not follow the expected course and should never have been on that path. The court highlighted a failure of communication between the pilot and the victim.
