Cessna sued for skydiving accident.

The parents of Bryan Jones, a 34 year old Microsoft engineer who was one
of nine skydivers killed in the crash of a Cessna Caravan, are suing
Cessna. The Caravan was returning from Star, Idaho, to Shelton,
Washington. The parents are alleging that the Cessna Caravan was
defective and should not have been flying in icy weather. The airplane
is not certified for flight into known ice, although the plane in
question did have boots.

So, Cessna is being blamed because a pilot may have operated the plane
in direct contradiction to the aircraft flight manual and warnings in
Cessna's operating instructions.

Yes, I hate it when an airplane takes off on its own and does something
stupid like this. It makes the other good airplanes look bad...

So..., Cessna should then sue the parents for faulty parenting in not
properly teaching their son to make safe decisions such as choosing to
go flying with a pilot who ignores the operating limitations of the
aircraft, and thus harming the reputation of Cessna as the aircraft's
maker.

This lawsuit would make better sense to me than the parents' suit
against Cessna.

To Mr. Campbell: Is Cessna going out of business because of this lawsuit?
