How did he get on the wing of a 152?

It was actually a Cessna 180; apparently he was parachuting from it and was outside holding onto a strut when it stalled and spun - he held on too long and his 'chute didn't open in time. The aircraft landed safely.

Where does it mention a 152? The picture is of a 172 -which is also wrong anyway if it was a 180.

Not to mention the nonsensical quote in most of the reports: "he walked out further on the wing".

The most nonsensical thing in the article was someone talking about his "unbelieveable talent for music".

A rapper? Talent? MUSIC?????
