Well, Tonyparamotor, good luck on pressing this one until you get what you need. Your right actually, if we knew what happened it could be a learning experience....but since there was no actual witness to the actual accident, and the only on person present was quite assuredly more concerned with a loved one in a situation with major trama than what analysis could have caused the contact with the ground, your pressing this issue is not well thought out...and I am sure quite offensive to those who you seem to be accusing of some wrong doing. Yea, Emilia should have stopped caring for a very dear friend to make sure to ask exactly what happened so some guy online, who wants an impossible investigation, can get his answers satisfied. Naaa, I can't imaging that would be offensive to anyone more involved than you. I suspect Deano was one of the people the wing manufacturers went to when designing new wings, and having people like him fly those prototype wings is why we have such good products today. Seems like if that idea is sound (which I'm pretty confident is accurate), than the flame throwing at Ozone is a little misguided as well? As for the family of Dean Eldridge... why is you can't find any info online about their anger at Ozone, or anger at anyone else for that matter? Clue...they don't blame anyone else. A man died doing something that carries a high risk, and there is no investigation that will turn up any results, because there is no video or visual witness. Anything you say beyond that is just not well thought out and defies your opening statement of "first off i dont wish to offend anyone..." because if there was no video evidence, and no one who saw it actually happen, than you suggesting an investigation is necessary is basically accusing someone of lying because an investigation with no witnesses to an accident with a non investigable collapse, or pilot error, or anything else related to a fabric wing failing somehow and in so allowing the pilot to make contact with earth is impossible to conduct because there is no evidence, except someone made contact with the earth. Do you want them to investigate so they can approximate the speed of impact or something? Also, accusing aljken of working somehow for the company also plays pretty hard against your "first off i dont wish to offend anyone..." What is it you want exactly (besides the name of the prototype wing of course that you can blame instead of pilot error with no evidence either way)? You want "them" to investigate how he made contact with the earth when no one can possibly answer that? What led to the pilot error, or the experimental wing failure when no one can possibly answer that? It seems you just want someone to be responsible for Deano's death besides his personal choice to participate in a risky activity? I only say that because you obviously seem to be pointing your finger at Ozone, and Emilia. Probably, if you don't want to be offensive, you should try not to be, and let it go, eh? Sure seems healthier than trying to find answers to a question that cannot be answered, or accusing people of lying, or whatever it is your trying to do here! I can assure you (if thats possible?) that there are a great number of people, much closer to this situation that you, that do not blame anything but a life well lived for this ACCIDENT! Any further debate is senseless so with that, I sincerely hope you find peace with this!

I am currently learning to fly, very directly because of Deano's life, and death. I admired his zest for life from the moment I met him, the stories I heard of his adventures always made me wish I was doing what he was, and the passion he had for something he loved doing was a conversation piece I had with people who loved him dearly. Upon his death (or a year or so later, when I had a moment to read his book and reflect on my life) I decided to make some miniscual attempt at trying to "live" because of him. Yea, I know that has nothing to do with his crash, nor does the wing he was using, or the company that made it, or the research that would turn up a result of "accident!", especially since there was no one to witness the probable collapse of some sort a wing, that can happen for so many different reasons on a wing that everyone else is flying without fail!! That man went out doing something he loved, which by the way, its dangerous when (as aljken said), "The cause of the accident is flying a paramotor with a prototype wing close to the ground". Let it go, eh? It was just an accident and no one is to blame but life....and by the way, by virtue of that, death! long live Deano
