Ref the accident.
Weather...200 overcast, 3/4 SM visibility (some reports said it was snowing that night)
I would be cautious driving home let alone flying. OVC 002 is the big clue. Did this chap either not have a clue to the use and limitations of the kit he was using or if he thought he did, think it may allow him to launch outside the kits performace but allow him to go beyond his own? Training, experience and knowledge. A bit like the triangle of fire, you need all three to ensure it works.
