I mean no offence, merely that others had mooted that the pilot had 'misjudged' the height of the structure and that the 'landing' might have been heavier than ideal.

Without proper control and judgement of distance, it would have been difficult (if not impossible) to achieve a gentle landing.

Statement just made to the media that the cause was not associated in any way with previous incidents involving this type.

Somebody knows the cause and it might even be incapacitation of the pilot . . .
