I suspect they are trying to deflect the blame on the camera because I've yet to read any news article placing it on Michael Schumacher who took a needless risk and putting himself in great danger going through the rocky section for the sake of recording a home video. I've seen a number of GoPro cyclist on the street racing through traffic at high speed in Manhattan so they can show their friends on how brave they were. It's like camera attached helmets make people take more risks, not less!
