A British Columbia hang-glider pilot whose failure to hook in his
passenger caused a dramatic mid-air struggle, which ended with the woman falling
300 metres to her death, pleaded guilty Friday to criminal negligence.

The probe also found Orders did not perform a pre-launch safety check, even

without her being connected is a substantial departure from the standard of care
you'd expect from a reasonably prudent pilot," Campbell said.

"It was unintentional."
