Didn't jump, wasn't pushed

I saw the first report this morning, and like most forumites found it hard to believe. Then The Figaro published this retraction. But there is still a intesting comment:
"They were flying very low because they did not fall from very high," said Lt. Rey, Vassieux-en-Vercors fire brigade, who spoke on the incident when contacted by lefigaro.fr.
Suggests that it might be better to fly very low in bad weather just in case you crash!
